Our Leadership Team

The HIS Board is made up of committed Christian leaders who bring experience across governance, education, communications, technology, and strategic development. As Christadelphians, they aim to reflect integrity, service, and strong character within their communities and in the work of Heritage International School. Together, the Board provides oversight, supports the school’s vision, and helps ensure that HIS is led with professionalism, clarity, and care.

In addition to the Board, HIS is supported by a wider group of trusted contributors who assist in key areas such as finance, operations, communications, and technology. This broader team strengthens the school’s capacity and helps support its development as a well-run international online learning community.
