The general responsibility and authority for the operation and conduct of the school rests with the Board of Trustees. The Board deals primarily with policy and financial matters. It selects the Head of School and delegates to him/her the authority to deal with all operational matters concerning admissions, curriculum, faculty, students and administration.

The guidelines for the responsibility of the Governing Board follow those described in A Handbook for the Independent School Trustee published by the National Association of Independent Schools.

The Board meets the second Thursday of each month during the school year and, if necessary, during the summer. Standing committees of the Board meet as needed to conduct their business.

All members of the Board serve on committees. Persons who are not members of the Board may volunteer or be asked to serve on one of the following standing committees: Buildings and Grounds; Development; Marketing; Finance; and Strategic Planning.

Each year, the Committee on Trustees proposes new Board members. The Board- elects nominees. Each elected member serves a three-year term and is eligible for a second term.

The Board of Trustees shall be comprised of not more than 27 and not less than 14 persons who are qualified to govern Berkshire Country Day School by virtue of their commitment to independent education, their legal, financial, professional or educational expertise, or other abilities. The Board shall include one ex officio member — the Head of School; two members selected by the faculty; and seven to 20 additional members elected by the Board. From time to time, at the Head of School or the President's request, the Board may invite professional, administrative, or other personnel of the school to attend meetings when their expertise is needed. In addition, the President of the Parents' Association will report to the Board at least twice a year and have access to the Board when needed.
