A core commitment of NCAIS is to offer relevant and intentional professional development opportunities to NCAIS constituents. We have a variety of single-day workshops and multi-day conferences, listed below. In addition, we have ongoing professional development opportunities and our monthly and quarterly cohort virtual meetings, which can be found here:
Because of the strong support of our sponsors and exhibitors, we are able to offer affordable professional development opportunities to our schools. We encourage you to review our Sponsor Directory and support those organizations as they have supported our community. For those representing organizations with services and products that would benefit our schools, we encourage you to visit the link below:

Leave the school year behind, dig out those flip-flops, and join your colleagues at the NCAIS 2022 Summer Conference for Heads and Families, June 20-22 at Wild Dunes Resort, just outside of Charleston, SC. We'll come together with heads from Tennessee and South Carolina as we kick back a bit, learn, reflect, and rejuvenate after a long year. Families are invited and there will be special programming for spouses.
Happier teachers, more engaged students - cultivating the best of both worlds. Join the Heart of Character team to explore three elements of school and classroom culture essential to success in supporting kids and adults alike. This conference for teachers, administrators, and school leaders will provide current research and ideas for everyday implementation. All HOC conferences include opportunities for lively participation and discussion. Inspired and equipped with an increased understanding of why belonging, competence, and autonomy are essential, participants will also build lasting professional relationships to support their work. HOC encourages schools to send teams for maximum effect.

NCAIS COVID Event Policy
NCAIS strongly encourages independent school personnel to be vaccinated unless your physician advises against it due to a serious medical issue. At NCAIS in-person events, we will enforce masking for all attendees, regardless of vaccine status. NCAIS will confirm any additional venue restrictions and registrants will receive final protocol as a part of pre-event communications. This policy will be in effect until further notice. NCAIS will continue to monitor metrics and guidance by NCDHHS and the CDC and make adjustments as needed. If conditions warrant, NCAIS in-person events may shift to a hybrid or fully virtual model. No full or partial refunds will be issued provided sessions and content remain consistent.
NCAIS Board Approved Cancellation Policy:
All attendees receive a full refund if they cancel at least two weeks before an in-person event, and a 50% refund if they cancel one week before the event; no refunds thereafter. All refunds are subject to a 15% administrative fee. No refunds for virtual events that are recorded for later viewing.
Financial Assistance: NCAIS has a modest amount of financial assistance available. Please do not hesitate to ask if that would be helpful.
