Perception of Independent School Value

In November 2006, a study was commissioned by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) to assess the current opinions and perceptions of independent schools. This study, conducted by Shugoll Research, had the objectives of assessing attitudes toward quality objectives; assessing awareness and perceptions of independent schools; and comparing perceptions of independent schools to perceptions of public schools. This study provides some useful information that is worth consideration for independent school leaders.
