Why attend an independent private school?
The reasons cited over and over again by the 400,000 families who send their children to our schools include individual
attention, small classes, teacher excellence, and high academic standards. But the main motive for families looking into
independent private schools can be summarized in one word: Quality. They want, quite simply, the best for their sons
and daughters (Source: National Association of Independent Schools).
CCIS Guidelines of Best Practices For Admissions & Marketing: CCIS has formalized and articulated
common admissions guidelines to ensure that families and schools remain well served during the admission process. These guidelines
support and extend those published by NAIS (National Association of Independent Schools) and ISACS
(Independent Schools Association of the Central States). Questions may be directed to the administrators at any of the
CCIS member schools
