Taaleem schools
All Taaleem schools are governed by the executive board at Taaleem and individual school principals. In addition, we have opened up the way the school is governed to create an Advisory Board in order to:
- Facilitate parent and staff involvement
- Involve members of the community in planning the school’s future
- Streamline common policy-making across Taaleem
The Raha International School Advisory Board is made up of parents, staff, and members of the Taaleem Executive, invited to serve by the Principal.
The Taaleem Foundation Board, consisting of all school principals and major company executives, is the central policy-making group for Taaleem. It is informed and advised by the school Advisory Boards and by executive standing committees for Philosophy, Education, HR, and Finance, in which Principals and other Taaleem officers pay close attention to the development of the whole organisation in different specialised areas.
