Southfield School is a private, independent, coeducational day school for students in preschool through grade eight. The mission of Southfield School is to develop a lifelong love of learning.

The principle duties of the Board involve the setting of school policies and the selection, evaluation and retention of the headmaster. Toward those ends, standing committees meet regularly to guide and assist the Headmaster in the development and implementation of school policies.

Board members are selected on the basis of their demonstrated willingness to support the school through their commitment of time, talents and resources. The nominating committee of the Board is charged with the recruitment, selection, orientation, and evaluation of all members. In addition, it works with the standing committees to involve non-members in the ongoing work of the Board.
