About scl cohorts
- It’s always good to know you’re not alone! Connect with others who are in the same role as you at classical Christian schools around the country. Groups are limited to 8-10 members so you can build relationships, share ideas, and support each other in a small group environment.
- Cohort leaders are seasoned professionals in their field. Based on years of experience, they will share best practices and help members avoid common pitfalls in their roles and equip you with the resources you need to be successful.
- You don’t have to do your job alone and can get questions answered quickly! Cohort leaders will hold virtual “office hours” online twice a month to answer your specific questions between the regular group meetings.
Why Cohorts?
Several years ago, Keith Nix, Head of School at Veritas in Richmond made a simple offer. “l’ll put together helpful resources and then lead a Zoom call once a month to discuss.” He obviously hit a felt need as today there are over 70 heads in this program!
SCL is going to be running the cohorts program for heads with Keith, as well as launching up to five new cohort tracks for different school leadership areas, depending on interest.
The cohort program will run initially on a one year program with up to three years of unique content. (The heads cohorts are already well into a second year program). The long term plan is for this to be an ongoing multi-year offering with new resources added for those who want to continue.

We do not want any leader to miss out on participation due to cost. Thanks to the generosity of a number of donors, we have set aside funds to help offset the cost of participating. We recognize no two schools are alike, so don’t hesitate to ask.
We have discounted the first year with “cohort launch pricing” to encourage those who are participating to join us in pioneering this exciting new program to maximize it’s impact. We are confident in the expertise of our cohort leaders and the content you will be receiving and welcome you as an influencer in the program.

What are SCL Members Saying?
“If you had a way for all of my key staff to have their own leadership cohort group, it would strengthen my school leadership team!”
“I’ve participated with Keith since the beginning of this cohort program. I don’t know of another resource that is geared specifically for classical Christian school leaders that addresses THE issues we deal with on a daily basis in a community of like-minded peers. Every head needs to be in one of these groups.”
“This training has transformed me as a leader and my school as an institution. The principles, practices, and opportunities for collaboration with other heads of school is unparalleled.”
“The classical Christian school heads cohort provided critical support and encouragement. The sessions were uplifting and helped clarify my thinking on essential governance and management practices for private schools.”
"The support and training that the training cohort has offered has been invaluable to the growth, health, and success of my school.”
