independent schools

Independent day and boarding schools offer gifted children alternatives to local public schools. The National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) defines independent schools as nonprofit schools that are governed by a board of trustees and supported by tuition, charitable contributions, and endowment income rather than by public or church funds.
