Logos School has consistently sought to provide leadership and support that
first of all fits with our philosophy, then we try to adjust finances to
accommodate our convictions. For example, you will notice that we have more than
one administrator for a school of less than three hundred students. That is
rather unusual and opens us to the charge of being "top heavy." Were we only
concerned with the "bottom line," this would be a foolish structure. But our
school board determined that, regardless of the "extra" cost, they wanted to
have someone directly and intimately overseeing the building and maintaining of
each level of the Trivium in our school. So, our elementary principal works
closely with the grammar school teachers and program, while the secondary
principal does the same with the logic and rhetoric program (including
extra-curricular programs) of the secondary (7th-12th grades). The
superintendent acts as the liaison between the board and the staff, oversees and
coordinates the principals’ work, as well as ensures the entire campus is
functioning properly.
God has seen fit, over the
years, to allow us to develop and sell materials our staff members have
designed. Therefore, many years ago we hired a full-time Director of
Materials sales. The income from these sales profoundly affects the annual
school budget, allowing us to keep tuitions much lower than we would
otherwise manage.
We have also been blessed to
get some great counsel early on about the value of a full-time Development
Officer. Rather than the school sending out endless appeals for financial
help, this gentleman spends his time meeting many people and literally
developing relationships that, yes, we hope yield gifts as well as
friendships. He is also responsible for public relations, grant writing, and
designated gift giving, e.g. to the science department or capital projects.
We are very grateful for
all the staff members whose primary labors have to do with ensuring that
the teachers are able to do their critical jobs each day. We are, after all,
a school!
If you are able to visit Logos
School, we hope you have the pleasure of meeting these folks:
