How the Brent Schools are Governed
Brent Schools, Inc., is a private, non–profit, non–stock corporation. The School has the exclusive and sole right, as recognized by its incorporation in 1954, and in 1997 (for Brent Manila) to determine all matters pertaining to its welfare as well as its direction.
Brent School’s international status was recognized in 1977 and was reaffirmed by Presidential Decree No. 2022, issued in January 1986. This recognition mandates that the School must be international in enrollment and teaching staff. The school is accredited as a college preparatory school by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). It is also recognized by the Department of Education (DepEd) in the Philippines.
Brent International School Manila is governed by a Board of Trustees which includes the Diocesan Bishop and seven members who must be Episcopalians/Anglicans. Trustees are not required to have children enrolled in the School but are chosen by the Board on the basis of their areas of expertise and their willingness to help the institution.
The Headmaster is the Chief Executive of the School and bears the responsibility for successful management at all levels of operation. He serves as the link between the Trustees, the Administration and the School’s constituency of parents and students.
