North Park University’s School of Education is dedicated to transforming future educators through experiential, intentional learning. With small class sizes, flexible scheduling, and personalized mentoring, we ensure that students are fully prepared to make a meaningful impact. Our graduates are committed to the craft of teaching, shaping both local and global communities. For more than 40 years, we’ve built a reputation of excellence, collaborating with more than 125 partner schools and a strong alumni network to support students throughout their careers.

Approvals, endorsements, and licensure

Undergraduate and graduate students can complete these programs alongside their degree program or after earning their initial licensure to expand their abilities.

The School of Education offers various transformative programs for future educators and leaders. We aim to prepare tomorrow’s educators and leaders and foster a community that values equity, inclusion, and excellence in teaching and learning.
