What Is An Independent School?
Independent schools are distinct from other private schools in that they are independently governed by a board of trustees. These schools do not depend for their operation on funds from a religious institution as do parochial schools, or tax dollars as do public schools. Each independent school has a particular mission defined by its board of trustees, and each school is accountable to the parents who enroll their children in the school. Independent schools that belong to the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) are all accredited, non-profit, racially and ethically non-discriminatory organizations.
Are all independent schools alike?
While independent schools have certain features in common--emphasis on high standards, strong teaching and individual attention--they are very different from one another.
Independent schools may range in size from a few dozen to a few thousand students. The setting may be a single urban building or sprawling rural acres. Perhaps the school is centuries old with long-standing traditions or it may be newly founded. Independent schools may or may not have a religious tradition.
Why do parents choose independent schools?
Over time, discerning families have most consistently cited three reasons for wishing to enroll their children in independent schools: individual attention for their child's emotional needs, smaller class sizes, and rigorous academic standards.
Independent school parents want their children to be part of an educational community where there are high expectations of every student and where each young person is recognized as an individual.
