Commission on Independent Schools Chair/Asst. Chair Training
Monday November 16, 2026 9:30am - 4:00pm EST
Prepare to take on a leadership role on a NEASC Visiting Team through this focused training for school leaders. Ideal for future Chairs and Assistant Chairs, the session provides a clear, comprehensive grounding in the accreditation process of the Commission on Independent Schools.

Through hands on activities and practical discussion, participants will gain the knowledge and perspective needed to step confidently into these leadership roles.

Independent school leaders who have never served as Chairs or Assistant Chairs — as well as those who haven’t participated in a NEASC visit in some time — are warmly encouraged to attend.

The session begins at 11am, includes lunch, and concludes with the Welcome Reception for the NEASC Leadership Conference.
