LLA seeks candidates with:

  • A strong instructional foundation
  • An unwavering commitment to equity
  • An openness to learning and growing within a collaborative community of leaders

Candidates are:

  • Sitting principals who are already leading, but eager to further develop and improve.
  • Aspiring principals who are assistant principals, directors of instruction, teacher leaders or central office staff members, who will be ready to lead a school 2020-21.

Please email lynchacademy@bc.edu if you are not sure if your school or district is an LLA partner, or to discuss becoming an LLA partner. There is no tuition cost for individual Fellows; instead, partner districts and schools are responsible for Fellowship fees.
