Apply for NAIS Programs

NAIS offers a variety of programs throughout the year to honor exceptional school programs, encourage global collaboration, and develop future school leaders. Read more below to take advantage of NAIS's specialized programs.

Challenge 20/20
Challenge 20/20 brings together schools in the United States with schools in other countries. Together, teacher-student teams identify local solutions to a global problem and work collaboratively on those solutions. All schools -- public and private, elementary and secondary -- are invited to apply in the spring of each year. (Applications are accepted either by mail/fax or via the online application system.)

Fellowship for Aspiring School Heads
The NAIS Fellowship for Aspiring School Heads is a comprehensive one-year professional development program for individuals at NAIS member schools who wish to become heads of independent schools. Through programming, mentorship, and a school project, Fellows develop their own leadership styles, learn key issues and skills, and develop a strong network.  Individuals at NAIS member schools may apply (online) in the fall of each year.
