The Next Generation Leadership Academy (NGLA) provides training for aspiring school leaders in instructional, transformational and organizational leadership through a combination of coursework and practical application.

The program will enable participants to become effective, motivated, supportive school principals who can diagnose the needs of their schools, guide and develop teachers, and manage their schools with a focus on student achievement. The program also includes a residency program under the guidance of an outstanding mentor principal. It will involve 60 aspiring principals and 30 mentors from public schools in the City of Richmond and the counties of Chesterfield, Hanover and Henrico.
