Principals Clinic will help you find the answers from within the scope of traditional education.
In classroom observations, you’ll see firsthand
I would strongly encourage everybody to attend the Principals Clinic. We actually attended just before we started our school. And the information we got helped us on day one of the first day of our school. We adopted some of the principles, and they have been invaluable. I would encourage anyone who starts a school to make this priority one, to come to the Principals Clinic. It’s tremendously helpful. —Administrator from MS

Subject to change
Attending Principals Clinic was one of the best decisions I made as a first-year principal. I received practical suggestions to use in the classroom, helpful tips in how to manage and lead my faculty and students, and biblical insights for developing myself and my team towards becoming leaders who reflect Christ. I left Principals Clinic refreshed, encouraged, and inspired to use what I learned to further grow our school. —Delegate from Brooklyn, NY
