What are our students saying?
"The OAESA program through Concordia University of Chicago has provided me a fantastic opportunity to become an administrator, and it [provides] administrators with courses and work that align to responsibilities and standards of administrators. The more you are able to put into the program- the more benefits you are able to gain from the program. The experiences the program provides only add to a future administrator's resume in their desire to serve teachers, students and community members of the school."

"This really was a seamless journey for me from classroom teacher to becoming a leader in the field of education. I have no complaints. I feel that I grew professionally through the coursework. The teachers were knowledgeable, courteous, and fair. And, I especially enjoyed collaborating with a cohort of local teachers, in the last two semesters of my program."
