About PTC Institutes
JOIN EDUCATORS AROUND THE WORLD IN LEARNING TO LEAD

Over 2000 international educators have participated since 1989
What are the PTC Institutes?
Intensive courses addressing the essential skills necessary to be an effective leader in an international school. Each course spans 7 days and includes afternoon networking sessions.

The PTC earned a reputation for providing highly effective practical training for international school educators. Participants can expect a high level of professionalism in each course and should be prepared to work intensely and collaboratively with their colleagues who come from international schools around the world.

Who may attend?
Those already in the principalship as well as those aspiring to the principalship will benefit from these courses. All participants will be from international schools or about to take their first job in an international school.
Is there any preparation before the course?
All registrants complete pre-read materials and preparation assignments before arriving at the institutes. These can typically be completed in a few hours.

All participants are also asked to bring a written 'vignette' addressing a professional issue. These are used in the afternoon group sessions during which participants exchange ideas, discuss professional issues and make important professional connections.

Are there any special requirements?
In order to receive a certificate of completion, participants must complete the full 7-day institute. Those who arrive late or depart early will not receive confirmation of participation.

Due to the intensive training and limited facilities, PTC accommodations are not offered to spouses or other non-participants. PTC participants should not plan to have spouses or family members accompany them.

Can I earn graduate credit?
3 graduate credits are available for each PTC course through either The College of New Jersey(TCNJ) or Lehigh University at an additional cost of USD$450 per course. Representatives of each university are available onsite during the institutes.

Are there any discounts or scholarship available?
Participants from a PTC member school receive a considerable discount on all course fees.

Some regional associations also offer scholarships. Contact your regional association for more information
