School Governance

The International School of Turin as a proud IB World School is legally registered as a non-profit association whose membership is composed of the parents or guardians of children enrolled in the School.

IST Governance

Its mandate is documented by its By­Laws, a legal document registered in Italy available to all association’s members. 

Every three years the members of the Association elect a Board of Directors which is invested in the management of the School affairs.
The Board, in turn, selects a President, a Vice ­President, a Treasurer, and a Secretary from its members.

The Board of Directors appoints the Head of School, who is the chief administrator of the School. The Board of Directors is legally responsible for administering the Association’s affairs and it is charged with the duty of ensuring the school's guiding statements are securely implemented and that the school maintains its accreditations.

In addition to the By­Laws, the Board of Directors also publishes a Board Policy Manual which lists all of its administrative policies and procedures and through which the Head of School is authorised to administer the Association on a day-­to-­day basis.
