The Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa (ISASA) is the oldest, largest and most inclusive association of its kind in the region. ISASA is a non-profit organisation which represents its members and provides them with more than 50 services to protect their interests, promote best practice and support quality education and school sustainability.

ISASA serves more than 850 schools representing a broad spectrum of socio-economic and cultural communities, religious affiliations, philosophies and educational levels, from pre-school to post-matric. Our low-, mid- and high-fee member schools educate more than 190,000 pupils.
