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 with a wide range of educational options and help to make greater Washington one of the most vibrant educational landscapes in the nation.

Let’s get ready for the new year!

Here’s what’s coming up in January at AISGW.

We’re offering programming on Integrating AI, hosting a happy hour for admission directors, organizing the winter gathering of the AISGW Women Leaders Network, launching a DEI Leaders cohort, and inviting trustees to think about evolving their boards. Plus we’ll begin our Emerging Leaders cohort and will continue our work advancing women leaders through the LeadIn cohort.

Get your year off to a good start and consider joining us for one of these opportunities.

Here’s to 2025!
