About the National Association of Independent Schools
The NAIS membership is a privilege granted only to those private schools meeting specific standards of governance and operation. NAIS schools carry accreditation from regional accrediting organizations. Saint Paul's School is fully accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools, the Florida Kindergarten Council and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). To maintain these important memberships, accredited schools must undergo rigorous evaluation. The FCIS evaluation occurs every five years and results in the school following prescribed principles of good practice.
NAIS schools seek excellence in a variety of ways: they provide small classes, excellent teaching, and academic programs appropriate to the school’s mission. It is the belief and desire of Saint Paul's School that every student can and should excel within this framework.
