About Independent Private Schools
There are approximately 2,000 independent schools across the United States, providing high-quality and individualized education to more than 700,000 students from pre-kindergarten through high school. About 1,300 of these schools belong to the National Association of Independent Schools. These schools are profiled in the School Search, an online searchable database. Although each independent private school is driven by a different educational mission, they all share a commitment to providing a safe environment in which young people can learn academic skills plus the importance of hard work, leadership, personal responsibility, and good citizenship.
