Net Assets is a family of publications — a print magazine, news website and e-newsletter — focused exclusively on business and operational issues facing K-12 independent schools. When you advertise with Net Assets, you interface with the decision makers who drive their schools' budgets and business partner relationships.
Independent school CFOs, heads of school and other business and operational leaders turn to Net Assets for news, insights and solutions. Our most recent reader survey indicated 99% of readers agree that Net Assets helps them do their job better, and 89% consider the magazine a "must-read." And 99% say it delivers forward-thinking, practical solutions to financial and operational challenges facing independent schools. It’s a highly valued member benefit.
NBOA’s Net Assets magazine is published six times a year and reaches strategic leaders at more than 1,300 independent schools, with a total distribution of about 7,000 copies. A modern redesign that optimizes reader experience launched in January 2022. Our latest reader survey shows our members value the print magazine even more now than they did five years ago.

It is written in a news format and contains useful information that goes beyond a promotional angle. NBOA reviews all copy to ensure it meets editorial standards.
