The Ohio Association of Independent Schools (OAIS) is the leading representation body for private and independent schools in the state of Ohio. Members include a range of schools covering all ages and abilities, many of which are well-established and nationally recognised.
ABOUT
The OAIS acts as an interest and lobby group for the independent schools sector in Ohio but does not offer accreditation. However all members are accredited with the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS).
The group’s members cover the full range of schools from traditional boarding college-preparatory schools, country day schools and specialist schools subscribing to various differing methodologies and ethos such as Montessori or Waldorf.
Membership of the association may vary but has included the schools listed below. More details may be found at the OAIS website.
