Board of
Trustees
The Miami Valley School’s Board of Trustees is charged with the governance of the school by defining its mission, determining its strategic direction, securing and protecting its financial resources, and overseeing the Head of School, who manages the administration and operations of the institution. The Board and the Head of School collaborate on the long-range advancement and benefit of the school and its students, using the MVS vision statement as a strategic planning framework to guide priorities and decision making. The Board does not oversee day-to-day operations of the school, leaving those matters to the Head of School and her staff.
Our Board of Trustees provides invaluable guidance, oversight, and vision and we are profoundly grateful for their volunteerism and commitment.

Opportunities
The Miami Valley School is always looking to improve our staff. As our campus and student body grows, our needs for dedicated educators and support staff grows as well. We look forward to reviewing your application and welcoming you to the team.
As an educator in independent schools for thirty years, it was clear to me immediately that the joy in learning at MVS is deeply embedded in the culture of the school.”
