Governance Structure
Governance
Nün Academy is a joint venture between Saudi investors and Kunskapsskolan Education Sweden. The Board of Governors includes senior leaders from healthcare, finance, and international education. It is accountable for the school’s strategy, finances, and CIS compliance. Day-to-day leadership sits with the CEO/ Academy Director and the Executive Principal.
Board Authority
All executive authority sits with the Board. The Board delegates authority as it sees fit. Individual Board members cannot act alone — they can only act through a full Board meeting or by specific Board designation.
Board and Executive Committee Roles
- Upholding Nün’s vision, mission, values, and student outcomes
- Keeping children at the centre of every decision
- Acting in the interest of the whole school, not any single group or agenda
- Raising individual concerns only where they have broad policy implications
- Speaking and acting as one body — authority belongs to the Board, not its members
- Reviewing bylaws to ensure they meet the CIS Code of Ethics
- Ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations
- Taking primary responsibility for the school’s capital assets and endowments
- Delegating day-to-day operations to the CEO/ Academy Director and the Executive Principal.
- Maintaining financial stability, setting tuition fees, and approving the annual budget
