Educational Resources

Pap

The Independent School Collaborative works with preferred providers offering online educational resources.  Cost-savings varies from 10% to almost 25% as compared to published prices. Access to these consortium-priced resources is available only to schools that are part of an association that is a member of the Independent School Collaborative.

The ACT District Model allows NCAIS schools to offer the ACT on-site during the school day to their students ONLY. Not only do students have the advantage of a familiar testing environment, but our contract allows our schools to offer them the test at a significantly reduced cost:

  • $37.50 per student for paper testing
  • $36.50 per student for online testing

ACT District Testing is available to all NCAIS schools that have at least one student testing. Two administrations are available each year: Fall and Early Spring. Your students register directly with your school, and NCAIS works with you as the ACT District Coordinator to help with the details.
