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
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.
