An Outside Perspective

Board and Head of School Mediation

Sometimes, Christian brothers and sisters need help from an outside perspective with wisdom that can only come from working with many other school leaders who have experienced similar problems inherent to leading a classical Christian school. The Compagnon Consulting team is happy to help during these difficult times.

Mentoring and Equipping School Leaders

Doctorum: Classical Christian Leadership Training

“Doctorum” is a groundbreaking, year-long course offered through the new ACCS Institute of Classical Christian Leadership. This course can provide a pathway to a valuable Administrator Certification and is specifically tailored to meet the unique demands of classical Christian educators, whether prospective, new, or existing.

The program is designed for the Head of School to systematically work through the life cycle of a school year with fellow ACCS leaders.
