Background
The Broad Superintendents Academy was started in 2002 by entrepreneur and philanthropist
Eli Broad to transform urban school districts into effective public enterprises. The Academy is a program of The Broad Center for the Management of School Systems.
The Academy identifies and prepares prominent leaders—executives who have experience successfully leading large organizations and a passion for public service—then places them in urban school districts to dramatically improve the quality of education for America’s students.
The Academy is run like an executive training program. Participants attend extended weekend sessions over the course of 10 months, while continuing to work in their current jobs.

| Fellows attend extended weekend sessions over the course of 10 months while continuing to work in their current jobs. Sessions cover CEO-level skills and the best practices in education reform leadership. | The Academy has staff members dedicated to assisting Fellows in their job search. | Academy support continues after a Fellow is placed in an eligible position. We understand that district leaders face a number of challenges when they take on a new position, so the Academy provides a full menu of career services and support. |
