ABOUT GISA
Founded by leaders of Independent School groups, we understand that GISA must focus on creating a positive business and regulatory environment and improving educational outcomes for all.
Our mission is to unite the Global Independent Education ecosystem around a common agenda, share its innovations and impact and become a trusted partner to the worlds Governments and global institutions
THE CHALLENGE
Over half a billion children and adolescents worldwide are not achieving minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics. | WHO WE ARE
Global Independent Schools Association (GISA) is the first worldwide representative body for the K-12 independent education sector. It seeks to co-ordinate, represent, and give a voice to a sector that educates 350 million children worldwide - calling for greater knowledge sharing between the independent sector and governments to help improve education across the world. | HOW WE CAN HELP
We will work with policymakers throughout the world to help raise standards in schools of every background, whether public, independent or third sector. Crucially, GISA hopes to make its voice heard as a valued partner in achieving SDG4: ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education for all by 2030. |

Become a member. Make a difference
We will showcase the sector’s impact, act as a resource for the world’s governments and global institutions to tap into, talk to, and, in times of crisis, lean on. Unless the independent sector joins others – governments, business, NGOs - to work out how we educate and skill up a new generation, valuable expertise will remain siloed, solutions will be lost. |
