Supporting a community of 78 non-profit schools that operate independently and for the sole benefit of the students and families of the 30,000 students they educate each year, the Association of Independent Schools of Greater Washington provides resources, professional development, and advocacy for schools and families in the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland.

Each school offers a unique educational approach for its students. Collectively, our member schools provide families a wide range of educational options and help to make greater Washington one of the most vibrant educational landscapes in the nation.

 We’re excited to launch the AISGW Leadership Initiative, a brand new program for aspiring women leaders designed to advance women's impact on independent school excellence.  Applications are due June 1st and the program begins in October.  Click here to find out more.
