Welcome to Independent Schools |

Independent Schools Canada is a public information service sponsored by Canadian Hallmarks Institute (CHI) and several provincial organizations of independent schools in Canada.
It is being established in order to achieve the following goals:
- Provide up-to-date and comprehensive statistics about the entire independent school sector in Canada.
- Encourage a dialogue about independent school policy issues and political concerns among the education leaders in Canada.
- Create a library of popular and scholarly articles and papers related to school choice, effectiveness and funding of education matters.
- Grow a Canadian profile and identity for independent schools as part of the broad education sector in North America and so become entrenched as an integral part of the viable schooling varieties in the public mindscape.
- Participation in the global discussion about education reform.
The current participating organizations are:
- Federation of Independent Schools (FISA)
- Association of Independent Schools and Colleges in Alberta (AISCA)
- Manitoba Federation of Independent School (MFIS)
- Independent School Association of Ontario (ISAO)
The editorial board is appointed by the participating boards. Operational support is provided by the CHI staff. Funding is provided through CHI, a charitable organization.
