Purpose

The purpose of the Graduate Certificate in School Administration and Supervision is to develop competent leaders with a biblical worldview for Christian, public, and private schools. The program leads to a Virginia license for the K-12 school principalship.

Students in other states are encouraged to check with their states’ reciprocity practices as this degree does lead to licensure in many other states outside of Virginia. The program is nationally approved by the Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC).

The student will be able to:

• Understand relevant operational and organizational strategies to manage elementary and secondary schools.
