The Collaborative at CPA

The Collaborative: A One-Day Leadership Conference for Christian Schools
Hosted by Christ Presbyterian Academy, The Collaborative is a one-day conference designed for leadership teams from growing Christian schools who are passionate about pursuing excellence. Through dynamic sessions, peer-led discussions, and intentional networking, participants will explore innovative strategies, share practical solutions, and grow in community with like-minded educators. Come ready to collaborate, be inspired, and return to your school equipped to lead with clarity and purpose.

The Collaborative 2026 was a rich time of connection and growth among middle Tennessee independent schools and schools from surrounding states. Dates and information for next year's conference will be shared next fall!
