INDEPENDENT SCHOOL LEAGUE: A PREMIER ATHLETICS CONFERENCE FOR BOSTON-AREA PRIVATE SCHOOLS
The Independent School League is an interscholastic athletic conference founded in 1948 whose membership is made up of a number of leading New England prep schools, mainly in the Boston area. ISL members (as the league is more commonly known) comprise some of the nation’s most famous and prestigious schools who collaborate and compete academically and athletically. The league operates strict rules regarding athletic scholarships and academic performance whilst also prohibiting the participation of postgraduate students. As such, it has often been referred to as the Ivy League of high schools (a reference enjoyed by a select few other school sports leagues – mostly within NEPSAC).
ABOUT
The league is one of the various leagues that operate under the New England Preparatory School Athletics Council. It has sixteen members: Belmont Hill; Brooks; BB&N; Governors; Groton; Lawrence; Middlesex; Milton; Nobles; Rivers; Roxbury Latin; St. George’s; St. Mark’s; St. Sebastian’s; Tabor; and Thayer. St. Paul’s was formerly a member and still maintains rivalries and a close association with many of the schools.
The schools compete in a number of sanctioned sports including: athletics (track & field); baseball; basketball; crew (rowing); cross country; diving; football (association / soccer); football (gridiron); golf; hockey (field); hockey (ice); lacrosse; sailing; skiing; softball; squash; swimming; tennis; volleyball; and wrestling. However many of the schools compete in additional sports or may compete against other schools in the same sports outside of the league structure. As the schools do not allow postgraduate participation in varsity sports, many of the schools do not offer a postgraduate year programme unlike other top-tier prep schools in the USA.
A list of member schools can be found below.
