NESA Affiliate School Status
For over 50 years NESA has been serving schools by facilitating sustainable and systemic school improvement based on the best practices of American and international education, with the goal of maximizing student learning.
NESA Affiliate School Status is intended to support schools working towards accreditation by offering a core selection of NESA Member benefits. To support you on your journey this year, we are pleased to be able to offer our Affiliate Schools the same reduction on rates for NESA programs and events as those enjoyed by full Member Schools.
NESA Affiliate School Status is open to any school that supports NESA's mission and vision, shares NESA's core values, and wishes to participate in NESA's conferences and institutes. A school may upgrade to full NESA Member School status at any time upon receiving accreditation from a NESA-recognized accreditation agency and meeting the other NESA Member School criteria.
