Become a more confident and competent leader
Our graduate leadership program is designed and taught entirely by Christian school leaders.

Our highly relevant and immediately applicable coursework means you will quickly be empowered to excel in your leadership and make a difference in your school.
Choose your degree
Both the Master of Arts in Leadership and the Education Specialist in Leadership students are part of the same cohort and take the same courses.
M.A. in Leadership
Students that have completed a bachelors degree prior, should apply for the M.A. degree option. Both the Master of Arts in Leadership and the Education Specialist in Leadership students are part of the same cohort and take the same courses.
Ed.S. in Educational Leadership
Those students that have completed a prior master’s degree should apply for the Education Specialist degree option. The Educational Specialist degree recognizes prior completed graduate work and provides advanced standing for future educational opportunities.
With a schedule you can manage
The graduate leadership program was designed for working professionals, so our courses are offered online and in the evening during your school year. Two one-week intensive residencies bring your cohort together for an invaluable in-person networking and learning experience. This two-year program can fit your schedule and your budget.
