Governance

Greene Street Friends School is an educational activity of Green Street Monthly Meeting. The Monthly Meeting and the Board’s Governance Committee work collaboratively to nominate and appoint Trustees to the School's governing Board.

The Board of GSFS appoints the Head of School, who manages the School's operations and reports directly to the Board. Currently there are 15 Board Trustees, whom you can read more about by clicking here.
