HYA Academy
HYA offers a variety of leadership and professional development academies through its academic partners geared toward growing high impact leaders.
HYA partners with prestigious universities to provide leadership academies designed to bolster K-12 Educational Leadership.
The academies are designed to prepare educational leaders to excel in their administrative positions within U.S. public schools. Our partnerships with nationally recognized universities mark a significant step forward in HYA’s commitment to nurturing exemplary leadership in education.
Each academy is a certificated program through the partner university. Individuals will receive a certificate, and in some cases graduate credit, from the university upon completion. All academies include an HYA executive coach for each participant. The participant’s coach is part of the structure and goals of the program to enhance skills, set goals, and build professional relationships.
