Independent School Alliance

The Independent School Alliance for Minority Affairs (“the Independent School Alliance”) places exceptional underrepresented students of color in academically competitive elementary and secondary independent schools. Incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1985, the organization’s mission is to inform minority communities of the option of independent education; to identify applicants of color and assist them in the application process; to provide on-going support programs that facilitate the adjustment of students of color and their families to their school communities; and to act as a resource to member schools and assist them in their individual efforts to address issues of diversity, multicultural education and equity and justice.
