Objective

Lead 25: Purpose by Design is a closed-door summit for school owners, principals, and their successors to address pressing school leadership challenges, strengthen peer networks, and design purposeful, future-ready institutions.

At its heart, this summit helps school leaders:

• Solve real operational and cultural challenges with insight from peers

• Clarify their school’s purpose and use it as a tool to attract and retain the right staff and families

• Identify shared development needs and shape the Edutropism Academy to support staff growth across schools

• Build leadership capacity at all levels, from individuals to leadership teams

• Equip owners to refocus their teams on long-term direction, values, and succession

It’s not about theory. It’s about doing the deep work that makes your school stronger, sharper, and more attractive—inside and out.

• The School Owner or Board Representative
