Board Development

Montessori Consulting Group’s (MCG's) structured approach to board development is designed to be highly accessible and adaptable, serving a diverse array of school boards, including public, private, and nonprofit independent schools. By incorporating the best practices recommended by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), MCG facilitators partner closely with board members and school leaders to build a thorough, sustainable plan for board development. This approach ensures that each board has the tools and guidance needed for effective governance and continuous improvement. MCG's development process emphasizes tailored solutions, focusing on each board's unique needs and objectives, to foster strong governance practices, strategic insight, and alignment with the school's mission.
