Tennessee Association of Independent Schools

The Tennessee Association of Independent Schools is a voluntary association of sixty-two 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), AdvancED or the state of Tennessee.
