Commonwealth Academy is a non-profit, tax-exempt college prep school, governed by a voluntary Board of Trustees. The Board meets bi-monthly from September through July to establish policy, review budget and finances, receive and review reports, and establish priorities, goals, and objectives about the school’s operation and future. In 2009, the Board crafted and adopted a Strategic Plan that will serve as the framework for the school's progress over the next five years. The plan outlines the Board’s vision of C/A as a model year-round learning center for students in Grades 4 and above with AD/HD or learning differences. It includes key strategic priorities and specific initiatives required to fulfill the Board's vision.
