"Other schools should emulate this place. My children are better learners, better leaders and better people because of their years spent at RJA."
– Mitch Waks, parent of two RJA graduates
board of directors
The SMDS-RJA board of directors has ultimate fiduciary responsibility for the school. In addition, the board members:
- ensure that the mission of the school is pursued and upheld
- provide guidance to the administration
- serve as advocates for the school in the community.
The board meets monthly as a group, and additionally on subcommittees that make recommendations to the board regarding such areas as finance, buildings and grounds, development and strategic planning.
