Courageous Principals Training

Deloitte's award-winning, experiential school leadership development programs

Deloitte’s Courageous Principals training programs are award-winning, global school leadership development programs that equip K-12 leaders, superintendents, principals, and assistant principals, with the necessary skills to become more effective school leaders and ensure the millions of students in our schools today can reach their full potential.

Principal leadership is a significant factor driving high performance of students. School leaders are uniquely positioned to impact teacher performance and student outcomes. The more effective principals are as leaders, the more resourceful, instructive, and effective our school systems can become.

Making a big problem smaller. Over three million students reached.

Since 2013, Deloitte’s Courageous Principals training program has been delivered to thousands of school leaders, impacting over two million students globally.

Immediately as people come through the doors at Deloitte University, they get an experience unlike any other professional development opportunity they’ve had. They’re being welcomed and trained as professionals–as leaders who carry the torch for their school. They’re here to improve their craft so they can have a bigger impact on others.
