School Governance

Mountain Shadows International Montessori School is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We pride ourselves on being a community school, governed by a dedicated Board of Directors who work closely with the school's senior leadership team.

Together, we strive to ensure a sustainable future by establishing clear, achievable goals and providing unwavering support.
