Preamble The Independent School Health Association is a non-profit organization founded by employees of NAIS member schools. With the exception of its executive director, its staff and committees are composed of members of independent schools who care passionately and deeply about the ability of health to influence all aspects of independent school communities. ISHA Mission Statement The Independent School Health Association (“ISHA”) aims to support the development and sustainability of health and health education in independent schools. Our mission is to equip independent school communities with the information, skills, and resources to navigate emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally, and socially their health and well-being. We are also committed to illuminating the relevant associations between health and academic achievement, and how they influence student motivation and potential. ISHA is dedicated to promoting health through: • partnerships with independent school communities; • creation and sustainability of a forum dedicated to the discussion of healthy schools and health education; • professional development through conference coordination, active website, listserv, social media, and a newsletter; • providing a resource library with content related to health curriculum and health program development; • creating awareness around social causes of health and disease, and; • promotion of evidence-based and other best practices.

We value the diversity of our schools which cover the complete age range and vary in size and nature, from early years to senior, boarding and day, all-through schools, co-educational and single gender, and specialist schools in the arts and music. All ISA schools/colleges share a desire to meet fully the needs of the young people in their care, treating everyone as individuals and providing a high-quality and personalised education. They encourage pupils to make the most of their talents, building confidence through academic achievement and offering a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities.

ISI is appointed by the Department for Education to inspect association independent schools in England. We are also approved by the Department for Education to inspect British schools overseas, and by the Home Office to inspect private further education colleges and language schools. Our inspections report to the Department for Education on the extent to which the statutory Independent School Standards are met. This recognises strong practice and drives improvement across the schools we inspect.

The Independent Schools Portal supports Leaders in Independent Education through high quality CPD. We also help companies source the best suppliers for their school through our close relationships and experience with schools and companies.
