To ensure high academic achievement for every student by attracting and preparing outstanding leaders and supporting the performance of the urban public schools they lead.

New Leaders participants complete an intensive year-long training program and paid residency in an urban public school, and then assume principalship positions in new or existing schools where they and their schools receive ongoing coaching and knowledge-sharing opportunities.
