Program Overview
It takes a special kind of person to raise his or her hand and say, “I’ll step up and lead.” Leaders take on extra stress, criticism, and responsibility. Good leaders take a servant like approach to leadership, guiding by example and setting a standard of excellence. Are you called to this kind of leadership in your school? Concordia does much more than teach you how to handle legal, financial, personnel and academic matters. Concordia’s unique program develops you holistically, so that you can be at your personal best as a leader. And since our program is both designed and taught by those with real experience as school administrators, you get much more than a textbook education. You get living, breathing lessons that would otherwise take you years to learn. And you get it in small classes with individualized attention. Additionally, since we know educators have a crazy schedule, you can take our program through a variety of flexible modalities, including a completely online option.
