Governance and Community

SMUS is thankful to have a dedicated Board of Governors as well as several organizations within our community who are working on a volunteer basis to benefit the school and our students.

St. Michaels University School is owned by the SMUS Society, established under British Columbia law to operate an independent, not-for-profit, co-educational school.  Our community of alumni and parents are the members of the Society. 

Welcoming Dr. Jeff Aitken

On May 2, 2024 the SMUS Board of Governors announced Dr. Jeff Aitken as our new Head of School, effective August 1, 2025. Read more about Dr. Jeff Aitken

Head of School Search

Head of School Mark Turner announced his retirement as of August 31, 2025. Learn more about the search process for the new Head of School

Board of Governors

A Board of Governors, elected by members of the Society, together with two appointed governors, support the Head of  School and Senior Leadership Team and autonomously governs the school.

Parents' Auxiliary

The Parents' Auxiliary work on a volunteer basis to support the school, other parents and the entire SMUS community.  The PA is an integral part of SMUS. They organize events and fundraise for the school.

Alumni Association

The Alumni Association Board and members are another important group within our community, serving the school's interests both locally and within our alumni community in 70 countries around the world.

American Friends

It is not surprising that given Victoria's location below the 49th parallel that one of the countries with most connection to SMUS is the USA. Through many years, the cross-border traffic has meant a thriving community of alumni exists south of the border, calling themselves the American Friends.
