Top 5 Reasons to Advertise in Independent School
- It’s a trusted brand. The National Association of Independent Schools is the premier organization for private, independent schools in the United States, and the magazine has been a core benefit of membership for more than 75 years.
- It’s guaranteed to be in the hands of decision makers. Four times a year, the magazine is sent directly to the top decision maker at an independent school—the head of school.
- It’s the only magazine dedicated exclusively to independent schools. You’ll optimize your marketing budget because there’s no better way to get national reach with this select audience than through the publication that’s designed for them.
- It’s forward-thinking. Each issue provides regular coverage of important issues and key trends independent school educators and administrators need, when they need it.
- It’s in print. Yes, you read that right. Print matters now more than ever, especially in NAIS’s community of highly engaged and educated readers.
Independent School magazine, featuring a modern design and a fresh approach to content, speaks directly to busy leaders and aspiring leaders. Each issue serves up not just the timely content they need but the services and products they need to address challenges and create sustainable campuses and school communities. The reimagined magazine includes dedicated departments that address the topics leaders need to have on their radar. And these sections and departments mean targeted placement—more opportunity to place your ads near relevant content.
