LEAP is Voluntary Association in the form of a universitas and is governed by a 12-person board of governors in terms of its Constitution. The Board consists of a collection of individuals with a broad range of education, commerce, public policy and business backgrounds. The Board meets at least 6 times a year and establishes sub-committees to deal with ad-hoc or on-going matters requiring attention between board meetings. No Board member is remunerated for the services they perform as governors. Day to day management of the schools is in the hands of school-specific management teams, who report through the Executive Director, John Gilmour, to the Board. A steering committee has been specifically constituted for the start-up phase of the Alexandra, Johannesburg school. This committee consists of a majority of non-management and non-board members, and reports to the Board. LEAP’s financial year-end is 31 December and is audited annually. LEAP is a Public Benefit Organisation in terms of section 30 of the Income Tax Act. LEAP has also registered as a Non-Profit Organisation.
