At Verita, we believe that our community thrives when families and school leadership work in close partnership. That’s why the Parent Advisory Board exists: to act as a critical friend to the school—supporting, advising, and ensuring that Verita stays true to its mission, vision, and the needs of our diverse school community.

Who We Are

The Parent Advisory Board is made up of dedicated parents who bring their expertise, insights, and passion to the table. Members are carefully selected by a panel from the existing Advisory Board through a formal interview process. Parents who are already part of school committees (Academics & Wellbeing, or Extracurricular & Community) are invited to apply, and the broader parent community may also be welcomed to express interest.

Board members typically serve a two-year term, renewable up to three consecutive terms.

What We Do

The Parent Advisory Board advises on key areas that impact the heart and future of Verita:

1. The Generative Domain

We help shape the big picture—offering input on long-term planning, academic goals, and financial strategies to ensure the school evolves with purpose and excellence.

2. The Fiduciary Domain

We provide insight into the school’s financial health, ensuring resources are used wisely and responsibly to guarantee both short-term sustainability and long-term growth.

3. The Academic Domain

We partner with school leadership to ensure a rigorous, well-rounded education that reflects international best practices. This includes reviewing data, reports, and academic feedback.

4. The Physical Domain

We advise on facilities development to ensure the learning environment supports Verita’s mission and growing student body.

Our Core Responsibilities

The Parent Advisory Board supports and advises the school in several key areas, including:
  • Revisions to the school’s mission and vision
  • Strategic planning and school development
  • Appointments and dismissals of the Head of School and Divisional Heads
  • Major curriculum changes
  • Facilities planning and financing
  • Tuition fees, salary structures, and budget oversight
  • Recruitment practices—to ensure fairness, transparency, and alignment with Verita values
One of the Parent Advisory Board’s most important roles is to amplify the voices of our stakeholders—ensuring that parents have a meaningful role in shaping school decisions.

How We Operate

Terms of Reference:
  • Board members are appointed for two-year renewable terms, recommended by the Founder and approved by the Verita 4 All Foundation Board of Directors.
  • The board includes 5 to 7 appointed members, chosen for their expertise in areas like finance, HR, law, and parent engagement.
  • The Founder and Head of School serve as ex-officio members and do not count toward the board’s total membership.
  • The Parent Advisory Board meets 3–4 times a year (never fewer than twice).
  • Meeting minutes are documented and shared with accreditation agencies or Romanian authorities when required.
  • All meetings require 5 working days’ notice and a published agenda.

The Parent Advisory Board may also establish liaison committees, appointing chairs and inviting non-Board members to contribute their expertise when needed.

Confidentiality Matters:

All discussions within the Parent Advisory Board are strictly confidential. Members agree to uphold this confidentiality throughout and beyond their service term, unless disclosure is required by law or for accreditation purposes. Each member signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Parents: Your Voice Matters

As Verita continues to grow, our shared values and principles must remain at the core of everything we do. That’s why parental involvement is a cornerstone of our future strategy.

By participating in our two parent-led committees—Academics & Wellbeing and Extracurricular & Community—families have more opportunities than ever to contribute meaningfully to the Verita journey.

The Advisory Board ensures these voices are heard, valued, and reflected in the decisions that shape our school’s future.

Together, we are building a school that listens, evolves, and stands firmly in its purpose.

Let’s continue to make Verita not just a place of learning, but a thriving community where every voice counts.
