ISV is the state’s peak association for independent schools and was established in 1949. Today, we work on behalf of more than 220 member schools operating more than 370 campuses that educate more than 142, 000 students – representing approximately 15 per cent of students in Victoria. Membership is voluntary and open to all registered non-government schools in Victoria.

ISV respects and promotes the autonomy of our members by providing the services, support and advocacy they need to deliver the best possible education for all students.

As a trusted voice in independent education, we work constructively with all levels of government. ISV is a not-for-profit organisation and a member of Independent Schools Australia (ISA).
