The Vermont Independent Schools Association (VISA) is the primary trade body for independent and private schools in Vermont. As the state’s leading independent school’s organisation, VISA represents over 100 schools across the state, ranging from the traditional private prep school to faith schools, special educational needs schools and alternative schools.
ABOUT
Independent schools in Vermont are those outside of the purview of the state’s education authorities. They may be governed by independent trustees or managed under the auspices of a charity or religious body and are, typically, funded by way of fees (tuition) or charitable endowments. A select few may be in receipt of grant funding from state or federal bodies whilst still being considered independent.
Vermont schools have maintained an informal association since the 1980s but formally consolidated that network when the Vermont Independent Schools Association was founded in 2010. Most VISA schools are accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and are members of the Association of Independent Schools of New England (AISNE) (and the Independent Schools Association of Northern New England (ISANNE) which has since merged into AISNE). Member schools include institutions at all levels from K-12.
VISA is not an accrediting body but is recognised as a formal network and lobbying group advancing the interests of independent schools in the state and liaising with similar organisations at a national level. With over 100 members it is the largest association of independent schools in Vermont, with many of its members being recognised amongst the greatest schools in the United States, albeit that not all independent schools in the state are members. VISA schools account for over 8,000 pupils which accounts for between 8-10% of all school-age students in the state.
