Leadership
Established in 1961 as a not-for-profit organization, ASM is the first American school in Spain. Our long history of success is underpinned by decades of continuity of governance and leadership. Our governance structure, a tradition of a strong relationship between the Board of Trustees and the school’s Leadership, and a willingness regularly to actively listen to our community, ensures continuous progress towards a shared vision and resilience in the face of challenges.
Senior Leadership Team
Board of Trustees
The American School of Madrid is governed by a diverse, self-perpetuating Board of Trustees, substantially all of whom are parents of current ASM students. Guided by ASM's foundational documents, the Board focuses on long-term strategy, developing school policy, and ensuring the school is both sound and strong financially. The Board is also responsible for hiring the Head of School, and delegates to the Headmaster the responsibility for day-to-day administration, program development, and implementing policies set by the Board. Together, we believe that a strong and dynamic partnership between the Board of Trustees and the ASM Administration is critical in achieving the ASM Mission.
