Mission
The Ohio Association of Independent schools (OAIS) is a non-profit
organization of pre-primary, elementary, middle and secondary schools
whose purpose is to support and advance independent education in
Ohio. It does so by:
- Encouraging collaboration among member schools and cooperation
with other regional and national educational organizations for
the ultimate benefit of Ohio’s
students;
- Providing leadership and support to member schools in developing
and maintaining the highest possible standards of educational
program and professional and ethical conduct;
- Serving as an advocate of Ohio independent schools by providing
information and leadership on educational issues to the state
government, Department of Education, and before the broader
community.
OAIS member schools are all 501 (c) 3 non-profits
governed by independent Boards of Trustees.
Governance
The Ohio Association of Independent Schools is governed
by an eight member Board
of Trustees drawn from Heads of member schools throughout
Ohio. Officers include: President, Vice-President, Secretary, and
Treasurer. Three members also serve “at-large” and one
member is a non-voting immediate past officer who also chairs the
nominating committee.
The OAIS Board follows the National Association of Independent
Schools Principles of Good Practice for boards and subscribes to
the spirit of the Independent Sector’s Code of Ethics.
