Heads of Schools Program
" What a gift to take time away from the busy days of running a school to think deeply about education and read, discuss, and write about topics ranging from philosophy of education to standards of assessment. I was forced to come out of my comfort zone and widen my thinking." Dorothy Hutcheson, HDS '99, The Nightingale-Bamford School, NY
Ask a room full of heads to describe a typical day on the job and it quickly becomes apparent that no such day exists. Educational leadership is complex and demanding, driven at its core by the mandate to shape the next generation in the face of economic, social and political challenges.
Schools today require heads who can balance work as CEOs, moral guides, counselors, cheerleaders, fundraisers and educational experts in a changing school environment. At the helm of such institutions are individuals like you who juggle this multitude of responsibilities with intellect, compassion and humor while working to remain true to what first drew you to the profession—the prospect of shaping the hearts and minds of young people.
The Klingenstein Heads program offers talented individuals the time and resources for true renewal and reflection about their passion and their work in the company of equally committed peers.
