Baylor Center for School Leadership
Building Better Schools, Together
Baylor’s Center for School Leadership strives to be the most effective Christian leadership catalyst for educators worldwide.
We believe that cultivating effective leaders is the key to unlocking the potential of every student. That’s why we strive to prepare and nourish the leaders we serve, so they can, in turn, serve their students with excellence.
The BCSL Networks are learning communities dedicated to developing leaders, strengthening school conditions and improving student outcomes.
Designed as a half-day professional learning event to inspire and educate Christian school leaders in bringing joy back into their schools and classrooms through feedback, engagement, and well-being.
Join us for a day of learning and networking that focuses on catalyzing change within school leadership teams. Just Leadership is designed to bring expertise from superintendents, principals, and other instructional leaders and discuss topics such as, how to make teaching and administration inviting for the next generation, AI, cheating, smart phone use, and time management.
Our programs bring together emerging Christian leaders in public and independent schools.

This summer, the Baylor Center for School Leadership engaged with public school administrators and teachers all over Texas. “We want to serve our Texas schools well, and through them, serve each student well,” Dr. Jon Eckert said. “While we also serve the 4.7 million students in private schools, 49.6 million students attend public elementary and secondary schools. Our public schools are partners in so much of the work that we do, and this is where we need to be if we want to catalyze leadership that supports each student.”
Katie Ahmadzai is the principal of NorthStar Academy, an international online Christian school and an alumna of the Baylor Master of Arts in School Leadership (MASL) program. She didn’t start her career with that title in mind though. She studied electrical engineering at Baylor, and Ahmadzai said her professors noticed the joy she had when teaching others.
