The Private School Universe Survey (PSS) is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education in order to collect basic information on American private elementary and secondary schools.

PSS was first collected in the 1989–90 school year, with data collections every 2 years since.
