ABOUT US : Organization and History

Welcome!

We warmly welcome you and your families to our website. Brilliant Star School opened in January 2000, as a result of a grassroots effort by parents interested in providing the highest quality education for their young children. The school was formed as a non-profit organization, administered by a Board of Directors. For the first year and a half, the school operated out of the Cabrera Center. In June 2001, we were granted an acre of public land on Navy Hill, and the school has been on this beautiful site since then. We look forward to continued growth during the next few years. We welcome a visit from you!

The Board of Trustees

Brilliant Star is a non-profit school governed by a Board of Directors. The primary functions of the Board are (1) to establish the school's institutional mission and define the fundamental objectives and core values, (2) to establish policies under which the school will operate, (3) to select a school leader who will translate the school's mission and objectives into day-to-day operation, (4) to oversee the on-going operation of the school within board policy and government regulations, and (5) to look to the future and plan for long-term institutional growth and development.

Administrative Structure

Brilliant Star has established an administrative structure to better meet the needs of its children, families and staff. The Board of Trustees, while establishing the overall direction of the school, works closely with the school Principal, who is involved with the daily operations of the school. The primary role of the Principal is to articulate the vision and mission of the school, to provide academic leadership, take leadership in the admissions and recruitment process, build community among students and families, recruit and guide faculty members and staff, oversee the financial health of the school, serve as the school's primary spokesman to the larger community, and lead the process of internal self-evaluation and long-term planning.

The Principal works with various individuals and committees to execute her responsibilities. The Administrative Office and staff exist to assist the Principal efficiently and successfully fulfill his duties and responsibilities.
