The Florida Council of Independent Schools (FCIS) is a professional education association founded in 1954 by a small group of independent private school leaders. Their purpose was to establish high standards for nonpublic schools. Today, FCIS evaluates and accredits independent schools throughout Florida. As one of the nation’s largest organizations of independent schools, it represents over 70,000 students in 157 member schools. The Council assures that each school maintains high standards and independence of character without political, financial or bureaucratic pressures. FCIS accredits coed, day, boarding and single sex schools in grades pre-kindergarten through twelve. All FCIS schools have nondiscriminatory admissions policies. Traditionally, independent schools establish their own philosophies, standards, and programs, developing their own guidelines for academic achievement, discipline, and, in some cases, religious commitment. The Council is an association member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), an affiliate of the Council of American Private Education (CAPE), and a founding member of the Florida Association of Academic Nonpublic Schools (FAANS).

Membership in the Florida Council of Independent Schools signifies accreditation by the Council. Accreditation is conferred by the FCIS Board of Directors after a school meets a rigorous set of standards. Schools, which apply for FCIS membership, are scheduled for review by a visiting committee composed of peer educators. This committee studies the philosophy of the school, academic and ancillary programs, media, instructional resources, the physical plant and equipment, and the qualifications of the administrative staff and faculty. Evaluation reports of this committee are submitted to the FCIS Board of Directors for their review. Schools which successfully meet published FCIS Standards and are deemed to be financially stable and to provide quality education are then granted accredited membership into the Council. Schools that have been in operation for less than three years are eligible for New School Candidate status. With the exception of these New School Candidates, all other members carry the Council’s accreditation. Schools with pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs must also be accredited by the Florida Kindergarten Council (FKC). Member schools are required to submit annual reports to the FCIS State Office, and each school is visited at prescribed intervals. Accredited schools retain that status for a five-year period. However, if the ownership of a school, its chief administrative officer, its program or its location is changed, an evaluation committee is sent to that school within a year. If complaints about the operation of a school are received, an interim visit may be required. A school loses its accredited membership if the directors determine that FCIS standards are not being met. The board of directors meets four times a year to act on reports of the evaluation committees. The FCIS accreditation process is rigorous and relevant; it guarantees that member schools have educationally sound programs and operate in a financially responsible manner.

The basic criterion for all decisions in

the school is the student’s welfare.

A school will not discriminate on the

basis of race, color, national or ethnic

origin in the administration of its

admission or hiring policies. Sex discrimination will be avoided except

where services to children are enhanced

or stated mission dictates it.

A school will meticulously carry out all promises made to students, patrons,

teachers, staff members or any other

person, school organization or the

general public.

A school will carefully avoid misleading

statements about its philosophy, stated

mission and status.

A school will make clear all dates

concerning the admission procedure and

adhere to those dates. A candidate for

admission and the parents will be

informed of the complete costs of the

forthcoming school year and the applicable payment schedules.

A school will not knowingly initiate

attempts to bring about the transfer of a

student from another independent school.

A school recognizes the right of its

enrolled students or families to visit and consider other schools without notifying

the present school. It also recognizes

and respects the right of another school

to hold preliminary discussions about

the possibility of admission without notifying the present school.

A school will not accept a student for

enrollment without first requesting from

the current school all pertinent information concerning the student’s

academic and personal records and the

reason for transfer. The transfer of

students from another city, state or

country may be an exception.

Upon receipt of a request for information

or for a transcript from a

recognized or FCIS member school, the

FCIS school will comply promptly. If

compliance is not possible or advisable, the reason will be given.

A school will allow each candidate for

admission reasonable time to accept an

offer of a place or properly notify the candidate of existing time constraints.

A school recognizes its obligation to

keep, protect and preserve the records of a student’s attendance and achievement.

A school will take all reasonable and

lawful measures to maintain the

confidentiality of reports and information

exchanged among schools concerning the

students and parents.

When awarding financial aid based on

need, reasonable efforts should be made

to ensure that such an award does not

exceed the demonstrated need of the family, and an FCIS school is encouraged

to require adequate documentation of

family financial resources.

A school respects the right of a teacher

to visit and consider employment in

another school without notifying his/her

present school, and it recognizes and

respects the right of another school to

hold preliminary discussions about the possibilities of employment without

notifying the present school. No binding

contractual arrangement should be

formalized, however, without

communication with the current employer.

Officials (Trustees and Administrators,

as well) of a school will not seek to

encourage a teacher or administrator from another school to break a contract.

Performance appraisal and teacher’s

qualification should be supplied by one

Head to another, upon request, and such information should be considered

confidential within the prescriptions of

the law.

The Head of School, and by extension

his/her designee, bears the ultimate

responsibility for fulfilling these

principles of good practice.

The Florida Council of Independent Schools encourages ongoing

communication among member schools

to ensure compliance with the spirit of

this Code of Ethics.
