Organization Profile
The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS)
Organization Overview
A growing 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Asheville, NC, TABS serves roughly 265 university-prep boarding schools in the United States, Canada, and globally. The Association leads a domestic and international effort to promote awareness and understanding of boarding schools and to expand the applicant pool for member institutions. TABS is also the one-stop, indispensable resource for educators seeking training, research, guidance, and support on all issues pertaining to the boarding school experience. In addition, TABS is the voice for independent boarding schools, their historical contributions, and the benefits of living and learning in an academic community.
Among its current projects, the association has recently launched a comprehensive, five-year outreach and advocacy campaign in the U.S. and Canada. As well, the association is preparing to incorporate a subsidiary entity to pursue another significant strategic initiative.
