Mississippi Association of Independent Schools
American “independent schools” are open to the public and are supported voluntarily by families who use their services and by people who value their mission, their product, and their place in the community. Independent schools operate independently of taxpayer funding and exercise the freedom to pursue missions that they believe best serve their unique constituencies and support their values. The MAIS facilitates communication and fosters mutual accountability among its member schools in the Mid-South, so that “independent schools” do not have to operate in isolation. Like independent schools themselves, the MAIS is funded by schools that voluntarily join the association and by voluntary contributions from the public—from people who value educational freedom and the exceptional opportunities that independent schools provide in a community.
