The By-Laws of Phil-Mont Christian Academy provides that the Academy’s mission is “to provide excellent academic education from a consistent Christian world-and-life view for the children in Christian families.” This mission is entrusted to a Board of Trustees. Each meeting of the Board of Trustees begins and ends with prayer, and includes a brief devotional prepared by one of the Trustees. Between meetings, business is conducted by the Executive Committee. Other Committees (e.g., Finance, Facilities, and Fundraising) meet regularly and report to the full Board. Discussion of these reports, and any reports submitted by the Head of School or other administrators, is one of the main activities at the Board’s meetings, and highlights of those reports will appear here from time to time.
“The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.” - Proverbs 16:9
Meetings of the Board of Trustees often involve discussion and action related to personnel issues, confidential matters, and matters that are under consideration but not ripe for public dissemination. Being mindful of its obligations to be good stewards of Phil-Mont, the Board cannot make public postings about such matters. When appropriate, however, the Board will address them in letters to the Phil-Mont community or in Town Hall meetings.
