Klingenstein Center

OVERVIEW

In 1977, the EAJK Fund established the Joseph Klingenstein Fellows at Teachers College, Columbia University, the first university-based leadership training for those in the independent school sector. John Klingenstein helped establish the program, which he named after his father. The program, later named the Klingenstein Center, was the nation’s first of its kind and represented the family’s commitment to professionalize education leadership of independent schools.

The Klingenstein Center now has programs serving early career teachers, mid-career educators, plus administrators and heads of schools.
