Behind every great school, there's a whole team.

Dear CEESA Community,
Great schools don’t run on teaching and learning alone.
They run on the people solving problems behind the scenes, keeping things moving, supporting colleagues, and making sure everything works. Often without anyone noticing just how much they do.
This month, we’re putting those people in the spotlight.
And there’s plenty more happening across CEESA, from new professional learning opportunities to stories that remind us why being part of this community matters.
Let’s get into it!
The CEESA Team
THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP OUR SCHOOLS RUNNING. THIS ONE’S FOR YOU.
CEESA Admin & Operations Conference
Blind Bird registration is now open!
Finance, HR, admissions, operations, communications, and all the work that happens behind the scenes — this conference is about bringing together the people who make our schools work.
A chance to meet colleagues who understand your challenges, exchange practical ideas, and build connections that continue long after the conference ends.
The best rates are available during Blind Bird registration.
Your challenges. Your questions. Your conference.
What should we be talking about? You tell us!
We’re shaping the conference program around the topics, challenges, and questions that matter most to you.
Whether it’s something your team is struggling with, a topic you’d love to explore, or an idea worth sharing, we want to hear it.
Take our short survey and help us build a conference that’s genuinely useful to you.

Your school should be here.
A student surprised you. A teacher tried something new. Your team solved a problem. Something happened that made you think, “Other schools should hear about this.”
We agree.
This year, we’re sharing more stories from CEESA Member and Associate Member Schools in our newsletter and social channels.
Your story could be next.
