NYSAIS hosts over 15 residential conferences every year, with most occurring at the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, NY or the Carey Institute for Global Good in Rensselaerville, NY. These annual events are mostly aimed at offering opportunities for professional learning and collaboration to individual constituent groups, such as our Conference for Heads of School, Business Affairs Conference, and College Counselors Conference. In addition, some events are topic-based, such as our NYSAIS Education and Information Technology (NEIT) Conference, Brain Conference, and the Sex, Gender, and Sexuality Conference.

NYSAIS Athletic Association
The mission of New York State interscholastic athletic programs is to foster the quest for excellence by creating an educational and competitive experience within an atmosphere of sportsmanship. Successful programs develop individual and team potential by promoting high standards of competence, character, civility, and citizenship.
Accreditation
All good schools continually evaluate their performance by means of their own devising. Without evaluation an institution ossifies, and in a changing world it loses its meaning for society. But the view a school takes of itself needs periodically to be supplemented by an external view, one that brings a perspective the school cannot command.
