Aspiring Principals Program
Our greatest national challenge is to ensure all children have access to a quality education. Critical to meeting this challenge is recruiting and training exceptional leaders to raise the bar of student achievement to the highest level. Through our rigorous selection process, intensive training program, and ongoing support, New Leaders for New Schools – Chicago provides a pathway for current and former educators to become outstanding administrators in urban public schools.
