About NWAIS

The Northwest Association of Independent Schools (NWAIS; nwais.org) is a nonprofit membership association that provides accreditation, professional development and support services to the 115 schools in Alaska, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

THE NWAIS VISION

NWAIS shapes the future of education by fostering transformative school leadership and by advancing, energizing and sustaining regional independent schools.

CORE VALUES

As the association of schools works together to advance the NWAIS mission, it is guided by core values. These essential principles enrich our relationships, guide our professional development programs, shape our member services and inform our process for school accreditation.

Healthy, Just, Diverse, and Inclusive Communities

NWAIS understands that schools are more than institutions. Our schools are also communities that extend beyond traditional boundaries, and include students and families of many types, backgrounds and ethnicities. NWAIS schools are good citizens in their actual neighborhoods, and of ten, active members of virtual, global networks of schools. Collaboration, collegiality, acknowledgement of their interconnectedness, and regard for the search for knowledge and under standing characterize our schools, both inside their classrooms and beyond their walls. Whatever their size, type, philosophy and program, NWAIS schools are committed to creating and enhancing environments for their students and staff that are safe, equitable, diverse and welcoming.

Continuous Improvement NWAIS values inquiry, innovation and

a dedication to continuous improve ment as essential to school success. The association views ongoing professional development as necessary for progress, and, accordingly, offers members a rich program of work shops and conferences each year.

“The NWAIS network, with its incredible diversity of options, leads to excellence at its member schools. Accreditation from NWAIS is a rigorous, peer-reviewed process — it’s a really strong stamp of approval.”

– NWAIS Executive Director Mark Crotty

Similarly, the association offers formal and informal consulting to facilitate school change and growth. NWAIS holds that nothing is more important to a school’s sustained improvement than the process of accreditation. NWAIS believes that there is no agent more powerful than accreditation for helping schools advance to their next level of excellence.

Transformative, Visionary Leadership NWAIS actively promotes the strengthening of current school leadership and the development of future school leadership based on the conviction that good schools can become great schools when guided by skilled, ethical and visionary leaders. Furthermore, the association believes

that, with coaching and training, good leaders can become great, and great leaders can become transformative, manifesting a compelling vision for their school that engages and inspires the entire community. Consequently, the association is committed to pro viding opportunities for the growth and development of current and potential school leaders — from board chairs and heads, to program direc tors, department chairs, business officers and teachers — wherever they may be on their career path.

The Positive Impact of Independent School Education

NWAIS celebrates the time-tested independent school commitment to educating the whole child through in tentional programs based upon strong scholastic, civic, moral and ethical values. The association champions the unique experience and distinctive culture that every independent school offers as fundamental to student and school success. Through professional development programs and the process of accreditation, NWAIS provides practical support to its mem ber schools as they strive to unleash student potential through exceptional teaching and extraordinary learning opportunities. The association advanc es independent school education by encouraging schools, in ways appro priate to their missions, to experiment and innovate in program and pedagogy so their students can become life-long learners and successful citizens who contribute to the common good.

OUR EXPECTATIONS OF MEMBER SCHOOLS AND AFFILIATES

• Commitment to the Public Good

• Effective Governance and Operations

• Primary Focus of Academic Education

• Commitment to the Best Interests of Children

THE NWAIS MISSION

The Northwest Association of Independent Schools promotes the ongoing improvement of its member schools and advances

independent school education by:

• Supporting every school in achieving its mission

• Cultivating excellence in school leadership

• Furthering diversity, equity and inclusion

• Encouraging free and open inquiry

• Fostering collegial and collaborative relationships

• Championing our public purpose

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY NWAIS schools are expected to maintain communities that are safe and sup portive for all their members. Accord ingly, all schools in the association shall create and foster a program, culture, and inclusive community of students, families, trustees, faculty and staff who embrace diverse perspectives, cultures, backgrounds and identities. Schools may demonstrate their Commitment to Care in a variety of ways, including, for example, but not limited to: curricular study, extracurricular program ming, articulated institutional policies, a statement of non-discrimination that includes sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes, and traditions and practices that affirm the school as a healthy, respectful, welcoming environment for all.

ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF NWAIS SCHOOLS

In order to assist schools in fulfilling their commitment to providing children a high-quality educational experience, we believe that schools that are missioncontinued on next page

continued from previous page

appropriate for the association support the mission and core values of the as sociation and abide by the following es sential characteristics of NWAIS schools.

Commitment to the Public Good

As nonprofit organizations under the IRS code 501(c)(3), NWAIS schools must provide for the public good. We expect schools to accomplish this by offering an independent educational option for a wide variety of families and by giving back to the community through service, economic develop ment, organizational citizenship, and providing models of quality organiza tions, curriculum and instruction.

Effective Governance and Operations

Success of NWAIS schools is secured through governance structures that provide fiduciary responsibility and strategic oversight, the goal of which is long-term viability. These structures work in partnership with an administrative structure that effectively manages the daily operation of the organization, ensuring the sustainability of the school for faculty, staff and families.

Primary Focus of Academic Education

NWAIS only accredits schools whose primary focus is academic education. In addition, the association only accredits schools in their entirety; it does not accredit parts of school programs. The mission, philosophy and goals of our schools articulate a commitment to academic preparation; ensur ing students are inspired toward and prepared for subsequent educational opportunities. This requires NWAIS schools to create relevant and cur rent curricula, with pedagogies based on present understanding of learning. NWAIS does not accredit schools with a primary focus that is therapeutic, wilderness-based or athletic. NWAIS

schools prepare students for pursuit of future educational opportunities.

Commitment to the Best Interests of Children

NWAIS schools demonstrate an ongoing commitment to the best interests of the students and families they serve. This includes commitments to the long term sustainability of the school; providing the continuity of educational experience through to the graduation of the child; promot ing a safe and inclusive community; adequate resources for advising and counseling of students at their de velopmental age; and comprehensive programming for residential programs in schools that have them.

NWAIS Non-discrimination Statement for Affiliated Schools

Member schools do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, disability, national or ethnic origin, or other legally protected status in admission of otherwise qualified students or in providing access to the rights, privileges, programs, or activities generally avail able to all students and their families, including educational policies, scholar ship and other financial aid programs, or athletic, extra-curricular, and other school-administered programs and activities. Similarly, member schools do not discriminate in their hiring or employment practices on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, disability, national or ethnic origin, or other legally protected status. Single sex institutions, religious schools, or institutions serving students with learning differences or other special needs implement policies related to gender, religion, and learning differences or other special needs as appropriate to support their published mission statements.

Seattle Academy (SAAS) is a vibrant, innovative and energetic independent school serving students 6th through 12th grade in an urban Capitol Hill campus in Seattle. Our dynamic educational approach of teaching students “how to think” but not “what to think” is delivered through programmatic pillars of Academics, Arts, Athletics, Outdoor & Travel, and Service.

SAAS combines a demanding curriculum with performing and visual arts, cuttingedge technology, and championship sports teams. Our no-cut policy in all “tryout” activities allow every student the opportunity to challenge themselves in new ways. Central to a SAAS education is our culture of performance where students demonstrate what they’ve learned in ways that go beyond the classroom. Mathematicians are poets; athletes are singers; scientists are debaters, and everyone takes educated risks.

OPEN HOUSE EVENTS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL & UPPER SCHOOL

October 15 and November 5, 2022 Please check our website at seattleacademy.org for additional Open House information

At SAAS:

• We value curiosity and innovation, participation and excellence, and exploration and resolve

• We believe that an inclusive community embraces cultural agility, civic action, and a broad definition of human potential

• We establish healthy relationships and we nurture a mutual respect for each individual’s strengths, challenges, and unique story

At Seattle Country Day School, we know gifted children can be intense, verbal, and imaginative. They can have wildly different interests, from reading, to coding, to art. And they come from every community, every race, and every socioeconomic group.

At SCDS, your child will find a warm, welcoming classroom, one based around the concept of inquiry — a method where teachers encourage students to explore, to ask questions, to experiment, and to create. It’s a method that brings out the best in our students, stokes their passion for learning, and helps them develop critical-thinking skills that last a lifetime.

Entry Points: Grades K–3, and 6. Applications accepted at all grade levels.

It’s rigorous (of course). Subjects are integrated (as in life). And it’s really fun.

We hear it often: St. Thomas School students stand out. They are distinguished by an uncommon maturity, a sense of responsibility, and self-discipline. Daily lessons on core virtues provide the foundation; daily opportunities to lead and collaborate let them turn their learning into action. Long after they leave our campus, our students are distinguished as much by the quality of their character as by the quality of their intellect.

For 70 years and 11,000 daily chapels we have collected our community’s children and taught them what it means to be global citizens. And we continue to serve families that believe leadership, character, and community are essential components of their child’s education.
