New Leaders for New Schools' mission is to promote high academic achievement for every child by attracting, preparing, and supporting the next generation of outstanding leaders for our nation's urban public schools. The New Leaders program is designed to effectively prepare and support school leaders who have an unyielding belief in the potential of all children to achieve academically, a record of success in leading adults, and demonstrated instructional knowledge.
