How We Learn
We offer an independent school education with a mission and vision like no other.
Our accreditations and affiliations are key to our foundation of excellence and empower ESN to deliver a challenging curriculum combined with dedicated educators who are committed to helping each child succeed.
The National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) is a nonprofit membership association that provides services to more than 2,000 schools and associations of schools in the United States and abroad, including more than 1,600 nonprofit, private K-12 schools in the U.S. that are self-determining in mission and program and are governed by independent boards. As the largest association of independent schools, NAIS co-creates the future of education by uniting and empowering our community.
NAES advances Episcopal education, strengthening Episcopal schools, and fostering “excellence through association” by providing essential services, resources, conferences, and networking opportunities on Episcopal School Identity, Leadership and Governance and Spiritual and Professional Development.
SAIS is a regional accrediting board that requires that its member schools meet rigorous requirements related to student performance and academic accountability.
