Who is CAIS


CAIS (Canadian Accredited Independent Schools) includes 95+ schools which are committed to the mission of continual whole school improvement. Each of the member schools undergoes a reflective and collaborative accreditation process, meeting rigorous National Standards.
 
As a community of independent schools, we explore and pursue exemplary leadership training, research, national collaborative initiatives and international standards of educational excellence.
 


Why SPONSOR


For 2025-2026, CAIS is offering a year-round Corporate Sponsorship Program. Our programs allow your organization to interact with a range of senior level professionals within our CAIS community in a cost-effective manner. This approach also allows sponsors to maximize their return on investment with benefits being provided all year round.
 
Sponsorship is a great way to demonstrate your commitment to the professional learning of independent school leaders. All Sponsors at various levels, receive increasing degrees of exposure via virtual and online promotions. Company logos are integrated throughout our web and digital marketing content.
 
Becoming a Corporate Sponsor allows you to build visibility for your brand, connects you with educators, and gives you a forum to share your organization’s expertise.
