New Leaders

It takes a special person to become a New Leader.

We are careful to only select those who show the greatest potential for becoming a transformational school leader.

The Aspiring Principals Program is a six-year commitment in most locations.

Out of hundreds of applicants, only a small cohort of leaders is chosen to participate.

You will work in and transform an underperforming school.

It's a big commitment, but also a big opportunity, to make a difference in hundreds of students' futures.
