Message from the Chair of the Board of Trustees:
February 27, 2019
Dear American School of Warsaw Community,
Congratulations on the successful completion of the first semester of this school year! I hope you all had plenty of time with your family and friends over the mid-winter break. The Board of Trustees (BoT) has also been busy. We have launched a Corporate Sponsorship Program, improved sustainability of BoT’s governance, and adopted a new mission and vision statement based on our core values.
Similar to last year, the BoT is seeking candidates for Trustees (U.S. citizens and Non-U.S. citizens) who will begin serving in the 2019-2020 school year. This process, overseen by the BoT Governance Committee, begins now with a call for both applications for appointment and nominations for election through a unified form completed by March 29, 2019. The link to our form is here:

The Board is currently seeking community members with experience in fields like human resources, fundraising, development, and strategic planning. We are also seeking members with strong social networks within both ASW and our host community. Most importantly, the BoT needs parents who are committed to the values, mission, and vision of our community and the long-term wellbeing of our school and its students.
You can find more information about the BoT, including the composition of the board and qualifications at the following link:

I want to thank all of you who have volunteered to support our school this year. Whether hosting visiting students, serving as room parents, or by supporting the PTO, your efforts are key to making ASW a community that changes the world for the better.
Ray Banks
Chairperson, Board of Trustees

Please note we have an updated bus schedule that provides for adjusted times on Wednesday mornings, as would be expected for our weekly schedule for students. This schedule is available at the front reception desk and at the following link:
