The Board of Trustees is entrusted to preserve the evangelical Christian foundations upon which Wheaton Academy was founded and to insure that the school's mission is met. The Board of Trustees is structured as a "policy board," approving all policy level decisions and the school's longer range plans. The Board holds the Head of School accountable to implement these policies and plans through the Head Support and Evaluation Committee. Together, the board and administration work to partner with parents and their students to accomplish the school's mission--to nurture growth in students through relationships, excellence, and service to the glory of God. The Trustees represent a variety of backgrounds, drawn together by a common interest in Christian secondary education. The following list represents our current Trustees, their occupation, and education.

Pray regularly for our Board of Trustees and their leadership investment toward the continued great ministry of Wheaton Academy.
