Every day, technology leaders in independent schools are handed a complex box of puzzle pieces: cybersecurity, professional development, infrastructure, innovation, and support. You know what your pieces look like, but how do they fit into the school's bigger picture? The ATLIS Leadership Institute (ALI) helps connect those pieces by empowering technology leaders to grow in confidence, align their work with institutional strategy, and lead with lasting impact.
Leadership that helps you complete the picture
What makes ALI different is that it doesn’t ask you to step away from your work. Instead, it helps you see that work more clearly. Every assignment, challenge, and conversation is designed to strengthen the pieces you are already managing, while showing you how they connect to broader school priorities. Whether you are leading a tech team, launching an initiative, or influencing long-term planning, ALI gives you the framework to present the full puzzle, not just the scattered parts.
Topics like budgeting, communication, and strategic planning are framed specifically for the independent school technology context. The experience culminates in a capstone project where each participant builds a leadership portfolio that reflects both their growth and their school's progress as the picture comes into view.
A cohort that fits together
Many technology leaders work in isolation, with few peers who fully understand the scope of their role. ALI changes that by connecting participants in a yearlong cohort that grows together through monthly meetings, collaborative projects, and shared reflections. The result is not only a stronger professional network but also a trusted team of colleagues who help build confidence and offer support in real time.
Why now? Why you?
The puzzle facing schools is more complex than ever. Leaders who can connect technology with admissions, academics, advancement, and school strategy are essential. ALI prepares you to lead not just within your department but across your entire institution, helping you complete the picture and earn your voice at the table.
