ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIPNew Jersey has one of the most robust private school environments in the US, with the NJ Department of Education reporting that 11% of the state’s total K-12 population is enrolled in a nonpublic option. The quality of our member schools is extraordinary, and they are well recognized--locally, nationally, and globally.
Our newest membership category, a pilot category for 2025-27, is designed to meet the needs of schools that wish to affiliate with NJAIS but do not meet the requirements for Full (Regular) Membership.
Benefit from our robust networking opportunities, in-person and virtual professional development offerings at members-only rates, and attain access to The Garden Group, our business insurance collective whose dividends often reach five figures per annum, more than covering the cost of NJAIS membership.
NJAIS member schools educate approximately 32,000 students every year. The range of educational options is as wide and varied as anywhere in the world. Member schools vary in size from 50 students to over 1,100 students, and include single-sex schools, Montessori schools, Waldorf schools, faith-based schools (Catholic, Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Quaker), bilingual schools, day schools, boarding schools, startup schools, special education schools, early learning centers, and more.
