Board of Directors

The Calgary Jewish Academy is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that provides oversight, strategic guidance, and stewardship of the school’s mission and long-term sustainability.

The CJA Board of Directors values diversity in background, skills, and experience, and is committed to representing the breadth of our school and broader community. Board members include current and former parents of CJA students, along with external Directors, reflecting our belief in strong community involvement and responsible governance. This structure supports our commitment to Jewish values, community partnership, and thoughtful leadership.

We are grateful to our Board members for their time, expertise, and service to the school.

Board members are elected by the voting members of families with currently enrolled students. To be eligible for Board service, individuals must:

  • Be a resident of Alberta
  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Have a child attending CJA or be an Associate Member
  • Not be a CJA employee or an immediate family member of a CJA employee
