What is an Independent School?
What is an independent School?
At independent schools, you’ll find extraordinary teachers, small class sizes, and an environment where teachers nurture and stimulate students’ intellectual curiosity, personal growth, and critical thinking skills. Even though different independent schools have their own unique educational mission, all independent schools share common values put forth by the Northwest Association of Independent Schools (NWAIS). All members of Puget Sound Independent Schools are either accredited members or candidate members of NWAIS.
Join area admission directors as they help you learn more about independent schools, the admission process, and other helpful tips as you navigate this process.
