Riverfield is a not-for-profit corporation with 501(c)(3) status. The fiscal responsibility for non-profit organizations is held corporately by a Board of Trustees, made up of parents, alumni, and interested members of the community. The Riverfield Board of Trustees oversees the school’s fiscal management, approves and initiates major policy changes, raises funds and reduces debt, and hires the Head of School as chief administrator.  Board Members are invited to serve for a period of three years and may be re-elected for additional terms.

When the Head of School is not present on campus, the Division Heads assume responsibility. Division Heads are responsible for the Pre-School, Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools supported by Deans and Wing Coordinators who work with teaching teams. Non-faculty services, such as financial, clerical, security, and maintenance, are provided by additional staff. The heart of the school is, of course, the faculty and the students in the classrooms.
