Association Partnerships

AIMS Website
AIMS promotes the value of independent education and advances the interests of its member schools. -
NCAIS Website
As a nonprofit association established in 1970, we unite and support over 100 independent schools across North Carolina — with one additional member in South Carolina — fostering collaboration, innovation, and growth.Our community thrives not through uniformity, but through a shared commitment to educational excellence, core values, and every student's success. Whether faith-based or secular, day or boarding, single-gender or co-ed, each school contributes unique strengths, creating a rich tapestry of perspectives. Together, we serve over 50,000 students and empower more than 4,000 educators.
Guided by the principle that we are #BetterTogether, NCAIS serves as a hub for resources, advocacy, and professional development. From our earliest member, founded in 1772, to schools established in the 20th century, our network reflects deep tradition and forward-looking innovation. Each is a close-knit community dedicated to nurturing student achievement, lifelong learning, and service.
