Our diverse membership includes single sex and coed schools, religiously affiliated schools, schools for children with learning differences, small and large day and boarding schools. PAIS offers services which strengthen member schools, including collaborative dialogues on important school issues, professional development programs, vital communication on governmental affairs as well as advocacy, and a rigorous accreditation process. The PAIS accreditation process efficiently ensures compliance to vital standards, while also enabling a school to focus on a plan for its strategic future in such areas as student learning, diversity, equity and inclusion, social and emotional learning, and community engagement.

Partner Schools
At The Neighborhood Academy, we’ve partnered with schools far and wide to provide our students with transformative opportunities — from exploring professional careers, extracurriculars, hands-on skill building, to even earning college credits while still attending high school.
Through these collaborations, students expand their horizons both in and beyond the classroom.
