  A Welcoming Letter from our President

 

Welcome to the NAPSG web page! Designed primarily for our members, we welcome visitors to this site as well. The NAPSG mission is to further the professional growth of its members by providing a forum in which issues pertinent to the education of girls and young women are presented and discussed. School heads and other representatives of member schools and colleges meet to address issues ranging from curricular and administrative policies to moral education and the role of women in a complex and changing world.

 

Our History Organized in 1920 and operated exclusively for charitable and educational purposes as a tax exempt 501(c)(3) entity, NAPSG is an association of approximately 625 members: heads and other administrators of Independent schools enrolling girls, and executives of colleges, representing wide geographical diversity. Since an increasing number of formerly schools for girls are now coeducational, the name of the organization should not be construed to mean that NAPSG membership is confined to schools for girls. An Executive Council of approximately fifteen elected and appointed members directs the Association, which now employs a part-time Executive Director.

 

Two National Events A three day Annual Meeting is held in a different location each year, just prior to the Annual Meeting of NAIS, the National Association of Independent Schools. Outstanding speakers are invited, and the meeting is an excellent forum for the discussion of innovations, trends and mutual issues in schools, with strong emphasis on the education of girls and young women. School heads are expected to attend the annual meeting at least once every three years. Of equal value to participants is the opportunity to know other members, both school and college, and to talk freely with them in an association which has the unique features of diversity and intimacy. NAPSG has been characterized by many as "one of the most friendly groups to which I belong".

 

Administrative Leadership Seminar for Women Since 1985, NAPSG also has sponsored an annual seminar, led by women, for women. Many of the graduates of past seminars now head schools around the world. This event has grown in popularity, and we suggest applicants apply early.

Sincerely,

  Ellen

Ellen Stein, President
