Our Mission
San Diego’s Independent and Private Schools: Learning, Leading, Achieving
The San Diego Consortium of Independent and Private Schools consists of ten area member schools that have been accredited or recognized by the
California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS), Western Association for Schools and Colleges (WASC), or National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).
Each of the member schools offers families distinctive educational missions and opportunities while sharing a commitment to achieving excellence and inspiring innovation. Our goals are to educate families on the benefits of attending an independent or private school, to help each family find the school that is the best fit for their children, and to make the application process as welcoming as possible. The Consortium has, in many cases, created common recommendation forms, policies for visits, mailing dates for admission letters, tuition deposit receipt dates for acceptances, and policy against conflicting open houses or accepted student events.

Independently Funded
Independent and Private schools are governed by their own boards of trustees and are mainly financed by tuition payments, philanthropic contributions, and endowment funding.
