The Association of Colorado Independent Schools (ACIS) is the accreditation body for private sector and other independent schools in the state of Colorado. Member schools include a variety of schools including traditional college-preparatory schools – both day and boarding, as well as a range of alternative and special provision schools.
ABOUT
ACIS was founded in 1957 as a representative interest group for independent schools in the Centennial State. It operates both as an accreditation body and a trade body seeking to advance the interests of the sector at both a state and national level, through its membership of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).
ACIS member schools include some of the country’s most famous private schools and academies – indeed many are known globally competing with some of the best and brightest schools in the world. Alongside the traditional, conservative preparatory schools, in keeping with Colorado’s reputation for progressive and alternative communities, sit a range of alternative schools subscribing to a range of teaching pedagogies including Waldorf schools, Sudbury schools and Montessori schools.
Membership of the association may vary but has included the schools listed below. Please check with ACIS for the latest membership details or to find out more information about what the organisation does.
