National Associations

Updated January 08, 2025

As you research schools, check the national and state associations. Is the school you are considering a member? If not, why not?

Most private schools will claim to be a member of several national associations. These links will help you do your own due diligence to confirm that claim. They are also very useful for finding a specific kind of school in your area. Schools which are members of national associations inspire confidence because they are privy to the latest and best in private education.
