HOW THE PROGRAM WAS CREATED:
The AAIE International School Leadership Certificate Program was created by AAIE with input from highly experienced and respected International School Heads in partnership with Wilkes University to prepare you to successfully lead within the dynamic international school setting. Leadership alone, however does not prepare you for this challenging role! Connections with other leaders within your regional and a strong global network of diverse international school colleagues will help ensure you have the resources, support situational experience and practical know-how to reach your professional goals and lead well.
WHO WOULD BENEFIT: All international school leaders and those looking to gain a leadership role within the international school setting. This may include the Head of School, Principals, Assistant Principals, Curriculum Leads, Technology Leads, Department Chairs, Grade Level Chairs, and any educator wanting to affordably gain a high quality and practical Leadership Certificate, Master or Doctoral degree while working internationally.
FEATURES OF THE COHORT PROGRAM:
• 2-Day Regional Cohort Meeting to connect with your cohort & instructor(s) and start Course 1 at the CEESA Conference in Prague
• All other courses 100% online and able to be completed from anywhere
• Mentorship by an experienced international school head throughout the full program
• Very cost effective - with both certificate and graduate credit options
• Option to apply your Certificate Graduate Credits directly towards a Masters or Doctoral Degree at Wilkes University**
**See flow chart below for specific number of additional courses for both degree options
We provide the ONLY program designed by and for international school heads that includes an experienced international school head as your mentor throughout the program.
PROGRAM COURSES, SCHEDULE AND PRICING:
The Certificate is comprised of eight courses designed for emerging or current principals, heads of school and others interested in gaining the knowledge and credentials to successfully lead and forward their career within the international school setting. Tuition pricing is very low for the certificate program to encourage teachers and those not yet in administrative roles to complete the initial credential needed to secure their first leadership role, with the flexibility to upgrade to graduate credit for a Masters or Doctoral Degree at a later date.

"The program has given me a chance to not only professionally connect with colleagues around the world in other schools, but also to share advice and experiences as we grow in our own leadership roles. The coursework is extremely relevant, and has sparked many new initiatives and professional conversations between myself and the other administrators at my current school. I highly recommend this program to any administrators working in, or hoping to work in an international school."
