Ohio Alliance of Independent Schools The Ohio Alliance of Independent Schools consists of 46 member schools throughout the state of Ohio allcommitted to the quality education that independent schools provide to students from diverse backgrounds. Each school is governed by an independent board with a focus on the school and education itself not other issues that may affect the quality of a schools curriculum or teaching. Our schools believe the state of Ohios government ought to give more freedom and independence to private schools to operate and teach according to each schools mission instead of bogging down administrators with government mandates. OAIS continues to lead the fight at Ohios Statehouse for more freedom from government mandates for private schools.
