The Broad Superintendents Academy is a rigorous 10-month executive management training program designed to prepare CEOs and senior executives from business, non-profit, military, government and education backgrounds to lead urban public school systems. Participants keep their current jobs while attending The Academy. All tuition and travel costs are covered by The Academy.

Participants attend seven extended weekend training sessions covering CEO-level skills in finance, management, operations, organizational systems and education. In addition, we work with you one-on-one to customize and supplement your skill building needs.

We expect to place Academy graduates into superintendent or senior cabinet level positions within 18 months after completing the program. Our fast-growing alumni network and support system are designed to ensure that graduates succeed in their new roles in urban education.

Those graduates who have served as superintendents for two or more years have already demonstrated district gains in reading and math. Nearly three out of four have improved their districts' historical performance and are outperforming comparison groups in raising overall student achievement in elementary, middle and high school reading and math. The majority are also outperforming comparison groups in reducing income and ethnic achievement gaps.

The Broad Center for the Management of School Systems values diversity and seeks participants from a wide variety of backgrounds and perspectives. Accordingly, The Broad Center does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, ethnic or national origin, age, disability, gender or sexual orientation with regard to employment opportunities, admissions policies, or the administration of its educational programs.
