The Opportunity

ISBA has a 90-year heritage supporting independent schools and can trace its history back to the founding of the Public Schools Bursars' Association which held its first general meeting on 26 April 1932 at the offices of Epsom College.

We now have more than 1300 member schools including some 60 international associate members, from smaller preparatory schools to larger and well-renowned senior schools, including both boarding and day schools.
