The purpose of the school division's Summer Administrative Leadership Academy is to enhance the knowledge and skills of newly appointed principals and assistant principals.  Seminars will be structured to provide relevant information, to engage participants in problem-solving activities, and to promote collaboration.  Through the academy, administrators will have an opportunity to examine their new roles with specific attention to tasks they are likely to handle as they begin the new school year.

The school division launched the first Summer Administrative Leadership Academy in the summer of 2004.  The 2011 Summer Administrative Leadership Academy includes ten seminars for all newly appointed principals, assistant principals and individuals serving in the role of assistant principal I.
