Many private schools ally themselves with educational organizations such as the NYSAIS or the ISAAGNY. Because so many parents email us to request more information about these organizations and how they play a roll in the private schools throughout New York, we thought is appropriate to review some of the more popular organizations that private schools in NY may belong to.
The NYSAIS:
NYSAIS is the New York State Association of Independent Schools. The NYSAIS is a voluntary association of about 180 independent nursery, elementary and secondary schools enrolling. Over 70,000 students are enrolled in private schools associated with the NYSAIS.
The NYSAIS is affiliated with the National Association of Independent Schools and the New York State Coalition for Independent and Religious Schools. Founded in 1947, the Association is incorporated under New York State Education Law and is non-profit and federally tax exempt.
Established originally to protect independent schools from obstructive legislation and regulation, the Association has added substantially to the range of its activities since its founding. These activities include:
advocacy for independent education
evaluation and accreditation of member schools
professional development for faculty, administrators, and trustees
legal and institutional counsel
information on legislation, regulations, statistics, educational developments, and administrative practice
The affairs of the Association are overseen by an executive director and a board of trustees comprised of current heads and trustees of NYSAIS schools and elected by the membership at an annual meeting.
Regular membership in the Association is open to non-profit independent, nursery, elementary, and secondary schools, and to non-profit associations concerned with independent education. Associate membership is available to certain other private or quasi-private educational institutions.
