About TAIS

The Tennessee Association of Independent Schools
is a voluntary association of fifty-six schools located
throughout the state of Tennessee. It is a non-profit
organization governed by a Board of Directors, all
of whom are currently serving as Headmasters of
TAIS schools. 

While each school is unique, they share four key
qualities: they provide strong academic programs,
appreciate students as unique individuals, promote
student engagement in community service, and
facilitate the moral and ethical growth of their
students. In addition, all TAIS schools maintain
non-discriminatory policies, are incorporated as nonprofit
organizations governed by a Board of Trustees,
and are accredited either by the Southern Association
of Independent Schools (SAIS), the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) or the
state of Tennessee.
