Aspiring Principals Academy

Do you want to be a principal?

We are seeking innovative teachers (counselors, psychologists, and so on) who want to learn to become future leaders to join the Aspiring Principals Academy (APA). The APA, sponsored by the BYU–Public School Partnership, is made up of teachers who meet three times during the year to explore the principalship.

Why Join the Aspiring Principals Academy?

You learn

• which leadership skills you will need,

• what it takes to be a principal, and

• whether leadership is the right path for you.

You receive

• expanded networking opportunities,

• increased insight into district cultures, and

• information about the BYU School Leadership Program.

We expect you to

• attend every session (tentative schedule above),

• complete assigned readings before each session, and

• actively participate and enjoy the sessions.

No cost, as

• you will not be charged to participate, 

• the cost of your substitutes will be covered, and

• a $1,000 scholarship is possible if you apply and are accepted to the BYU School Leadership Program. (This scholarship will be prorated based on attendance at all four APA sessions.)
