An employment contract between the Headmaster and the school is updated periodically and renewed annually.

The annual salary and benefit offerings for the Chief Financial Officer are made by the Headmaster. All salaries and benefit offerings for the remaining school employees are updated annually and approved by the Chief Financial Officer or the Headmaster up to the aggregate salary approved by the Board of Trustees. |
