The Florida Association of Academic Nonpublic Schools (FAANS) is an umbrella agency representing over 1,300 Florida nonpublic schools, their more than 300,000 students, and the 13 accrediting agencies and 23 school organizations in which those schools hold membership.

Its membership represents all of the major nonpublic school faith-based and non-sectarian Accrediting Associations in Florida and thus encompasses the majority of the nonpublic schools within Florida’s 67 counties.

FAANS serves as a vital link between nonpublic schools and the Florida Legislature and the Florida Department of Education.  It provides information for the many inquiries from parents, the media, national school organizations, and government agencies for information related to nonpublic school education in Florida.

FAANS is the Florida member of the Council for American Private Education (CAPE) in Washington, D.C.
