Welcome the new NAES web site, designed to help members and associate members better locate and access the resources they need and to inform the Church and general public about the good news that is the mission and ministry of Episcopal schools and NAES.
Key New Aspects of the Site
Some things have remained the same on this new site, like the main URL, https://www.episcopalschools.org/. Others have been relocated or revamped completely. The most important change has been the vast reduction in the number of password-protected pages. Members-only materials are still plentiful (and marked with a padlock icon). But now, in almost every case, you can learn about these materials before logging in to access them.
Second on the list of changes is the new "Library" area of the Resources section. Here you will find a series of subject-based pages containing questions & answers, documents and web links. These subject pages will come online over the remainder of July, so check back periodically to see what’s new. Whether it’s a NAES-produced resource or other materials and links that you share or NAES identifies itself, this is the place where you’ll find it. We think you’ll find this new feature most helpful.
User Names and Passwords Remain the Same
Your use name and password remain the same ones you used with the previous site. The log In is now clearly visible just below the Association’s logo on the left. Please remember that the entry process for these items is case-sensitive. Members and associate members may change/edit their user name and password by logging in using their current credentials and then clicking on Manage Personal Profile in the upper right corner of the site.
