Principals Course Part 1

Foundations of Independent School Operations in Ontario

Whether founding a new school or taking on a new leadership role in an established school, this course will provide the core knowledge and introduce the skills required to successfully operate an independent school in Ontario. Critical concepts and key resources for independent school leaders will be explored in depth, including:

  • The Private Schools Policies and Procedure Manual

  • The independent school sector’s relationship with the Ministry of Education

  • Responsibilities of the private/independent school principal

  • Understanding the validation process and preparing for the inspection.

Additional topics of discussion will include Human Resource considerations for independent schools (hiring practices, employment contracts, etc.), marketing and recruiting students, and policy development. 

The course is relevant to all school levels (elementary and high school) for both ‘in-person’ and ‘on-line’ models.

This course is a prerequisite for the OFIS Independent School Principals Course, Part 2. There are no prerequisites for this course.
