2024 New & Aspiring Leaders Institute

Sunday, April 14, 2024 at 5:00 PM (EDT) to Tuesday, April 16, 2024 at 3:00 PM (EDT)

Event Details

The New & Aspiring Leaders Institute is for those interested in learning more about the building blocks of independent schools. The curriculum is designed for school leaders who want to bolster their leadership skills and unpack the basics of how schools operate. Whether you’re an aspiring leader, newly appointed, or looking for a refresher, this opportunity will provide time to reflect on personal goals and gain new skills.

This program will be particularly helpful for: 

  • newly appointed administrative leaders
  • newly appointed heads
  • aspiring heads of school
  • those looking for a refresher

Additionally, the group will be organized into cohorts based on experience and role. Each cohort will have a facilitator and there are three dedicated times for discussion to help participants reflect on the material presented and plan how they will incorporate into their own leadership journey.
