New applicants continue to make a two-year committment to the academy.
The purpose of the Northern Lights Leadership Academy is to create the classroom, school, system and community leaders for the 21st century. Within 3-8 years, there will be a large turnover of administrators at both the school and system level as current staff are within that time frame for their retirement. The same scenario exists across Alberta so there is going to be a need for trained, skilled administrators to fill these positions. Some staff may want the training just to become more effective classroom leaders. The program will be done on their own time at no cost to their school.
