Start helping your school reach its potential.
We’re here to help you thrive
The average tenure of a Head of School is less than three years. Stress, financial pressure, enrollment angst, and organizational disfunction all contribute to this high rate of turnover. Christian School leaders are often over committed and under resourced, leaving them to face overwhelming obstacles in isolation and lacking specific training to help fill the gaps. It's no wonder so many experience burnout.
Leadership in a Christian school can be lonely, but you don’t have to go alone. We’re here to help. The Christian Education Leadership Association exists to help Christian school leaders fill the gaps so that they can leverage their unique strengths to help their schools thrive.

What our clients are saying:
Shirley L.
“I wish I had this support when I was a new Head of School. The insight and resources that CELA offers are immensly valuable now, but they would have been priceless as a new school leader.”
Mollie D.
“CELA coaches helped us articulate our value proposition and develop our marketing strategy. We have seen significant enrollment growth, and now the problem is that we need more space. We’re coming back to CELA to help us plan our fundraising efforts.”
Jason A.
“Our board was embarrassingly dysfunctional. CELA helped us establish a governance model in line with best practices and coached us on how to best lead in pursuit of our school’s mission. Now, our board is finaly healthy and our school leadership is thriving as a result.”
