The Future School Leaders Academy program prepares educators for school and district leadership roles in the Lower Hudson Valley region. Through a longstanding partnership with Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES, Bank Street College elicits candidates with demonstrated outstanding leadership potential who have been nominated by their Superintendents for the program. Candidates take courses primarily on the BOCES campus in Yorktown Heights and do supervised fieldwork in their own schools and districts.
