The Canadian Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) is an association for independent schools that operate within Canada or offer a curriculum leading to a Canadian diploma in a location outside of the country. Member schools are non-profit institutions with volunteer Boards of Governors who are responsible for hiring a Head to manage the daily operation of the school. To qualify for membership, schools must offer an academic program that will prepare students for entrance to institutions of higher education.

In October 2009, CESI and the Canadian Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) formed a new national organization. SEAL Canada (Standards in Excellence And Learning in Canada) has the following draft Mission: a community of independent schools, we collaborate in the pursuit of exemplary leadership, training, research and innovation. We are committed to the exploration and attainment of international standards of educational excellence. In October 2010, the Vision for the new national organization for 93 accredited independent schools in Canada will be the following: The voice of excellence in learning and leadership, we shape the future of education in Canada and the world.
