Great leaders don’t set out to be in charge. They set out to make a difference. Perhaps that’s why ROBS is known for its thoughtful and forward-thinking academic program. Its leaders are both masters of their craft and students for life, forever modeling the growth mindset promoted throughout the curricula.
Originally founded as a mission of River Oaks Baptist Church more than 65 years ago, the School’s Christian identity remains a cornerstone for decision-making by the board of trustees, administrative team, teachers, and staff. Through a cyclical and collaborative strategic planning process, the Board sets the strategic direction of the School. The job of implementation lies with the head of school and administrative team.
Accreditations from both the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS) and the Accreditation Commission of the Texas Association of Baptist Schools (ACTABS) demonstrate the leadership’s ability to govern effectively, to operate efficiently, and to successfully fulfill our stated mission.
“Culture starts at the top, as the saying goes, and it explains a lot about our School. From the Board of Trustees to our very youngest learners, we persistently ask ourselves: how can we be better?”
