Welcome to the NAIS School Search
 
To assist in learning about the variety of independent private school choices available to families, NAIS provides this searchable database of member schools. The database contains schools located across the United States and in several other countries around the world.

Families considering their educational options should begin with the widest possible selection of choices and narrow them after thorough review of each school's educational philosophy, curricular and extracurricular offerings, and any other factors of specific importance to each family -- a large or small institution, a single-sex or coed environment, or a day or boarding school.

For more information on how you can pick the right school for your child, please go to the NAIS Parents Guide. Through the NAIS Parent Guide, you can also connect with an educational search consultant from the Independent Educational Consultant Association (IECA) for a counseling session that can further guide you in making a school choice for your child.

Type of Search
For a broader search result, choose the Any button below to display schools that provide any one of the programs you select in the Sports or Special Programs listings.

Choosing All may produce fewer search results because the search will display schools that provide EACH of the sports or special programs you select.
For example, if a school you’re seeking absolutely MUST have German and Spanish, then select “All” to find those that have both.
