Advance your strategic design work in hours instead of months. This three-day workshop is designed to support schools in clarifying their vision and setting action priorities. 

Join us for a webinar with the current group of NAIS Global Ambassadors, who will present insightful information about planning, managing, and assessing international trips. Attendees also will learn about risk management from an expert in the field.

Authenticity, belonging, connection, discovery, expertise, and support—all of these qualities and more are used when describing this meetup, now entering its fourth year. Join fellow heads of color, and hosts Ken Aldridge, head of Wilmington Friends School (DE), and NAIS’s Caroline G. Blackwell, to discuss vital issues in school life.

The CASE-NAIS Independent Schools Conference is the flagship conference for independent schools and advancement professionals. 

In a well-received NAIS webinar last year, Clara Ma introduced the topic of acculturation stress as a challenge for international students at U.S. independent schools. If you’d like additional tips for supporting international students and their parents, come to this interactive session based on Ma’s classroom experience and her doctoral research at Johns Hopkins University School of Education.

This conference is an opportunity for educators from across the country to convene and collaborate around community and civic engagement programs in their schools. The conference will share tangible examples of how entire school systems as well as individual teachers can integrate civic and community engagement programs into their curriculum to create classes and programs that are engaging, thought-provoking, and stimulating for all students.

This two-day conference for heads of school will feature three keynotes and 10-12 sessions geared specifically for the head of school.

In this three-session program, explore the neuroscience of conflict in schools today, discuss how burnout impacts relationships and accelerates escalations, find creative ways to navigate tough conversations, and discover what to do about conflict addiction.

Align your school offerings with what parents want. This sprint helps schools attain a common language around why parents choose their school. It leverages frameworks to help schools innovate around enrollment challenges, redesign communication through a demand-side lens, and align schools’ current educational offerings with parent goals.

This conference inspires independent school women to grow and develop as leaders in their personal and professional lives. Women + Leadership is an affinity space that is welcoming and respectful of all women of all backgrounds, including trans women and those who are nonbinary and gender non-conforming.
