Collaboration and shared responsibility are the foundations of our school governance and leadership model. We work with consensus within and across our three governance groups, the Board, College of Teachers and Administrative staff. We are committed to a transparent and cooperative process for all significant school decisions.

Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the legal and financial organization of the school.  The Board includes faculty, parents, guardians, and members of the greater community. If you have questions about the Board please contact either the Board President, Elizabeth Head, or Interim School Administrator, Knut Hill.

College of Teachers

At Rudolf Steiner School of Ann Arbor, ultimate responsibility for all matters of pedagogy rests with the College of Teachers, a core group of full-time faculty and staff dedicated to the philosophical integrity and the long-term interests of the school. Any issue regarding curriculum, student learning concerns, etc., falls into the initial decision-making realm of the College of Teachers. The full faculty assists the work of the College as well as the faculty committees, which take their mandate from and report to the College.
