Georgia Independent School Association
Connecting private, independent, and parochial schools across Georgia through shared commitments to excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts.
Each Member School Is Unique
Every GISA member school brings its own character and traditions, yet all share a commitment to overall excellence — in the classroom, on the field, and on the stage.
Our Purpose
GISA represents private, independent, and parochial schools throughout the state of Georgia, fostering collaboration and high standards across member institutions.

Fine Arts
Annual All-Select Orchestra, Chorus, and Band performances bring together talented students from member schools for collaborative concerts.

Private, independent, and parochial schools across Georgia come together through a shared dedication to nurturing the whole student. Member institutions focus on the physical, intellectual, social, and moral development of every young person, creating environments where academic rigor and personal growth walk hand in hand. This collaborative network ensures that each school, while honoring its own traditions and character, benefits from a broader community committed to educational excellence.
Beyond the classroom, member schools champion robust programs in athletics and the fine arts. From interscholastic competitions to orchestra, chorus, theatre, and band performances, students find countless opportunities to explore their talents and passions. Annual conferences, board meetings, and regional gatherings provide structured moments for school leaders to exchange ideas, coordinate services, and strengthen the ties that bind these diverse institutions together across the state.
The association also plays a vital role in fostering close relations among schools and providing leadership on issues that shape independent education. Through coordination with regional bodies and alignment with national standards, member schools gain access to resources and guidance that elevate their programs. This spirit of shared purpose and mutual support creates a strong foundation where every school can pursue its unique mission while upholding the highest standards of quality and care.
