SAES Membership

Members of SAES are schools affiliated with the Episcopal Church which is part of the Anglican Communion. It is a parish day school, a school owned or administered by a diocese, religious order, group of parishes, or an independent school that espouses the faith and worship of the Episcopal Church as set forth in the Book of Common Prayer and operates with the knowledge and consent of the bishop of the diocese.

 

SAES member schools shall not exclude students because of race, creed, national origin, sexual orientation, or insofar as possible, socio-economic status, in its admission process to the school, or in the administration of any of its educational, financial aid, scholarship, or student activity programs and shall make every good faith effort to encourage an inclusive student body.

 

SAES membership year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 of the following year. With the goal of a more equitable dues and fees structure, SAES utilizes a tiered dues structure based on a school's expected total operating budget for the current year. For boarding schools, this is exclusive of boarding fees. Completing the membership application and paying the membership fee is the first step in the accreditation process.
