Click here to learn more about the schools.

• Are your children recognized as individuals at school?
• Are they as happy at school as they are at home?
• Are they adequately prepared for the future?
• Does your family’s educational philosophy match that
of your children’s school?

At BACIS schools, children learn to thrive, excel, and meet the future with confidence. During Independent School week, February 6 - February 11, you can visit area independent schools, and judge firsthand which is the right fit for your family. There is a School for Every Child.

Please browse through the schedule. Then, come visit some of the amazing range of schools in our area. We look forward to seeing you.

For questions about Independent School Week, please contact Kathy Sherman at info@bacis.org.
