 Blue School, an innovative independent school 
based in New York City, was founded in 2006 
by several talented artists, including the three 
original members of the successful 
performance troupe Blue Man Group. As an 
engaged educational institution, Blue School 
maintains memberships with such organizations 
as the National Association of Independent 
Schools (NAIS), a nonprofit membership group 
that serves a community of more than 1,700 
schools through a variety of programs and 
activities.
 As a component of its education and 
professional development offerings, NAIS holds 
a variety of institutes, workshops, and 
conferences throughout the year to help its 
members improve their practice and stay 
abreast of the latest issues currently facing 
education. Each February, NAIS members from 
around the globe gather at the organization’s 
Annual Conference, which gives attendees the 
opportunity to meet other independent school 
professionals, learn new skills, and explore the 
latest resources and services available to 
today’s educators.
 The next NAIS Annual Conference will take 
place February 25-27, 2015, at the John B. 
Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention 
Center in Boston. In addition to more than 
175 educational workshops, the three-day 
event will feature a number of prominent 
speakers, including Michael Horn, a noted 
author and cofounder of the Clayton 
Christensen Institute. For more information 
about NAIS’ Annual Conference or other 
programs and events, visit www.nais.org.
