What is the mission of the Klingenstein Center?
The mission of the Klingenstein Center is to improve the quality of independent school education by developing and strengthening leadership among teachers and administrators in independent schools. Carefully crafted programs, drawing on the academic resources of Teachers College and the other graduate schools of Columbia University, are designed to provide the knowledge, skill, and understanding necessary for informed and effective practice. In an age in which independent school educators are called upon to understand both the business of management and the moral purpose of educating youth, the Klingenstein Center stands alone in its capacity to develop leaders.
