The Georgia Independent School Association (GISA) is an association of private, independent, and parochial schools throughout the state. In Georgia, as throughout the nation, each member school is unique. Each shares a commitment to overall excellence and to the nurture and care of the physical, intellectual, social and moral development of all students.

The GISA was established to provide coordination of and services for member schools, dissemination of information between and among the schools, and to join other regional and national bodies in providing leadership on important educational issues. In addition, the Association attempts to foster close relations between member schools and the colleges and public schools in the State of Georgia.

The Georgia Independent School Association is a full member of the Georgia Private Education Council (GPEC) and is an affliate of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).
