Board of Directors
Prince of Peace Academy is a non-profit 501(c)(3) school, administered and led by a volunteer Board of
Directors. The Board is a working board which strives to keep the quality of academics high and operations efficient; this keeps tuition reasonable.
Prince of Peace Academy is a registered service organization of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and is able to call Lutheran teachers. Board members receive no compensation for their efforts and take pride in the fact that 90% of the school budget goes directly to the classroom, with the remaining 10% directed to administrative and marketing costs.
"We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion
to his faith.If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give
generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully." Romans 12:6-8
