Organisation
The Director-General
The Director-General is the Chief Executive and Educational Leader of the Foundation. She is responsible for the appointment of principals, the planning of academic programmes and school facilities, the supervision of academic quality, and the financial, personnel and administrative management of the Foundation. She makes recommendations to the Governing Board on matters that come within its sphere of responsibility.
The Campuses
The Foundation consists of three campuses: La Grande Boissière; La Châtaigneraie; the Campus des Nations (with two sites at Pregny and Saconnex). The organisational structure of each campus is shown on separate sheets.
Central Administration
The central administration of the Foundation, for which the Director-General is responsible, consists of departments responsible for Finance, Admissions, Human Resources, ICT and Development.
Conférence des Directeurs
This is the senior management team of the Foundation and consists of all campus and school principals together with the heads of all the central administration departments. It is chaired by the Director-General and meets regularly. It is responsible for advising the Director-General on all policies and procedures that come within his/her sphere of responsibility.
Campus Development Groups
Each campus has a Campus Development Group (CDG) consisting of elected parent and staff members, Board members, the Director-General, principals, student and former student representatives, and the President of the relevant Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). The fundamental purpose of each CDG is to improve the quality of education on its campus through a partnership of parents, staff and students. CDGs keep under review many aspects of campus life and advise on a wide range of issues, both those submitted to them by the Board and by management and those proposed by the CDG itself.
Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs)
Each campus has a PTA. These are autonomous institutions that have no formal role in the Foundation's governance. They provide a range of services and are central to the life of each campus.
