Through the Administrators' Academy, the NCISC offers a comprehensive array of professional development opportunities that support and strengthen the leadership of North Cook County school administrators.

All public school administrators holding type 75 or 77 certificates are required to complete one Academy annually (including an application component), between July 1 and June 30. Completion of an NCISC Academy fufills that requirement.

The NCISC offers Academy programs throughout the year. Sign-in is from 8:00 am - 8:30 am, classes begin at 8:30 am and end at 3:30 pm unless otherwise noted.
