Events

The Council on Educational Standards and Accountability is an organization committed to providing events designed to bring school leaders together for the purpose of strengthening Christian schools.  CESA is a council, as each member school is a part of the collective leadership of the greater whole of CESA. Through the relationships we build, the collaboration, interpersonal dialogue, and commitment to our own personal growth and that of our peers, we are different. By leveraging this capital, the Council on Educational Standards and Accountability will continue to seek new ways and use time-tested strategies to help improve how Christian schools impact the world.

Principals Mentorship
August 2024 - June 2025

The landscape of divisional leadership has shifted a great deal over the past 4 years, and we are keenly aware that the role of the division principal is increasingly complex. To support leaders new to the principalship in the past three years, CESA is excited to launch the Wisdom Walk, a division principal mentorship and cohort designed to equip and empower divisional leaders in CESA schools to thrive in their position, create a strong network of leaders in like-minded schools, and catalyze a deep understanding of their leadership that is inextricably linked to how Christian faith informs practice.

October 6 - 8, 2024
Denver, CO

Altitude is important at every level of schools, from the board to the leadership team to the teachers, coaches, advisors, and caretakers. In our organizations, we need to all be able to operate at a high level - getting above things; at a mid-range level - keeping initiatives moving; and at a details level - figuring specific things out. Altitude is more than just seeing the big picture.
