Whether you're in finance, human resources, development or another school leadership role, NBOA offers a variety of courses and formats to suit your needs and help you achieve your goals.
- Courses are taught in an online learning management system, which places greater responsibility on the learner than traditional professional development programs.
- Classes are conducted asynchronously, so there is no single time each week when participants are required to be online.
- Participants will connect and collaborate with each other through several forms of interactive media, including short videos and discussion boards.
- Online courses range from 1 to 4 weeks as well as on demand (at your own pace) depending on the topic.
- Participants should commit to spending approximately 3 to 5 hours on the class each week.*
- Assignments for each week open on Monday morning, and should be completed by the following Sunday evening.*
- Interaction is most effective when the entire class is working through the current week of each course; participation is self-scheduled, however, and a grace period is offered for catching up on missed course material.*
*Excluding On-Demand Programs
Courses are taught by content experts from NBOA, independent schools and business partners, who facilitate discussions and provide guidance and resources throughout the program.
Online courses are pre-approved for SHRM and/or HRCI credit. Specific credit information can be found by selecting a course below.
Registrants must complete the program and earn the Course Completion badge in order to obtain a Certificate of Completion.
NBOA offers a group discount for two or more online course registrants from the same school or organization. After the first participant registers for a course at full price, each additional registrant for the same course from the same school or organization will receive a $100 discount. The discount will be automatically applied at checkout. On-demand programs are not eligible for group discounts.
