Who stewards the stewards?

The structure that holds the School, the people who carry it, and the oversight that holds them all to account.

Meet the stewardsThe Mission Lock

Two bodies, one institution — by design.

One carries the work into the world: builds, teaches, earns, grows. The other holds the mission in trust: the Commons, custodial, unowned. Neither is complete alone. The enterprise gives the mission reach; the commons gives the enterprise a conscience it cannot outrun.

The work can grow. The mission cannot be sold.

The School is not owned. It is held.

The Stewards

The School is carried by stewards across generations — literally. Three of its steward lines run within families: daughter and mother, mother and son, father and son. A school of intergenerational stewardship. Practised on itself.
