TANS Celebrates 40 Years of Service

Since 1967 the Texas Association of Non-Public Schools has represented private schools in Texas. As the only organization advocating state-wide for the diverse needs of Texas' private schools, TANS provides:


  • Protection for the rights of private schools in Texas.
  • Protection for the standing of private school accreditation.
  • Representation to state legislators and officeholders.
  • Resources to assist schools in their compliance with state and federal guidelines.
  • A link to the national community of non-public education.
  • A public voice for the benefits of private schooling to all the citizens of Texas.

Texas is tops in economic and population growth, and TANS exists to maintain the strength and independence of one of the fastest growing private school environments in the nation.

Your school's membership supports TANS' ability to strengthen and protect Texas' private schools.
