| Organisational Structure |
| The TES Community |
| With an enrolment of 1,300 students from around 890 international families, a staff of 270 teachers and support personnel, and operations across two campuses, Taipei European School requires a professional, integrated organisational structure for the efficient leadership and management of the school. |
| Governance |
| As with many educational organisations, TES makes a distinction between governance , involving matters of policy, strategic and longer term planning, and management , which is focused on the day-to-day implementation and supervision of the operations of the school. |
| TES Board of Directors (TESBOD): |
| The Taipei European School is registered as a legal entity in the form of a non-profit Foundation supervised by the Department of Education within Taipei City Government. The executive body of the TES Foundation is the TES Board of Directors (TESBOD) which consists of nine members. The main function of TESBOD is to supervise the actions of the school as the ultimate legally responsible body, and is required, therefore, to approve strategic plans, significant developments and annual budgets. |

Dr. C.V. Chen has chaired TESBOD since 1993 when he kindly helped to set up the TES Foundation. Dr. Chen continues to be a great support to the school, through his encouragement, advice and wise counsel.

| TES Board of Governors (TESBOG): |
| TESBOD devolves much of the practical governance and leadership of TES to the TES Board of Governors (TESBOG), comprising eight members elected from the parent body across all four school sections. TESBOG meets monthly and deals with issues that concern TES as a whole, focusing on the mission and vision of TES, matters of policy, quality assurance, financial and strategic planning. TESBOG undertakes the appointment, support and direct supervision of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). |

Management:
Chief Executive Officer (CEO): |
| The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) leads the TES organisation in terms of teaching and learning as well as administration, finance, development and support services, fostering harmonization and facilitating cooperation within and between the school sections and administration. The CEO promotes the European element of TES at all times through its mission, vision and core values. |

Executive Leadership Team (ELT):
The Executive Leadership Team (ELT), chaired by the CEO, is responsible for the day-to-day leadership and management of TES and consists of the Heads of School Sections, Directors of Assets, Admissions and Student Services, Finance and Development. The ELT meets once a week and is a consensus driven group and discussion forum responsible for decision-making with regard to proposals brought forward from across the whole school.
