GUILD OF INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS OF NEW YORK CITY: A PROGRESSIVE NETWORK OF NEW YORK’S GILDED SCHOOLS
The Guild of Independent Schools of New York City (GISNY / GISNYC) is an association of the leading and most prestigious private schools in and around New York City with member schools representing each of the five boroughs. The guild is an exclusive consortium whose members are extremely well-known in New York City and across the eastern seaboard. Indeed, many of the schools are of international renown and are considered to be amongst a select cadre of the world’s elite schools.
ABOUT
The Guild of Independent Schools of New York City was established in 1937 by Dr. Frank Hackett, the famous educator who, at the time, was Head of Riverdale Country School. Hackett keenly sought to learn from and to establish a best practice approach to teaching in New York City and further afield – building upon the ethos that underpinned the strategic management and identity of Riverdale, whose mission is still shaped by those values today.
Whilst the Guild was somewhat progressive-leaning from the outset, its membership was comprised of a select group of invitees which included many of the oldest and grandest schools in the city. Indeed, its early membership was noted for the Protestant, elitist identity that the schools had garnered, counting only those children from the grandest Knickerbocker New Yorker families and other grandees from across the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England region. In many respects, these schools comprised New York’s answer to the Group of Seven and St. Grottlesex (or those grouped under the Elite Eight, Select 16, HADES and GLADCHEMMS monikers) preparatory boarding schools which had come to be synonymous with the wealthy, Upper Class, WASP establishment. Nonetheless, many of the schools which joined the Guild were noted for their embracing of progressive educational philosophies and were at the vanguard of this movement in New York, aligning themselves closely with key architects of this pedagogy, such as John Dewey and Helen Pankhurst. Many of these schools have maintained an international reputation as leading lights in the progressive movement.
The New York Guild of Independent Schools was put on a permanent formal footing in 1940 when articles of incorporation were filed in New York. The inaugural president being the then head of Collegiate School. The Presidency, and, other offices of the association, have rotated amongst heads of member schools on an electoral basis ever since. The 21 founding members included a select cohort of New York’s finest schools who regarded (and still regard) each other as peers. Those schools included the august and socially-preferred Manhattan private schools, the revered and gentile Hill Schools and a select few from the outer boroughs, namely: Allen-Stevenson, Barnard School for Boys, Barnard School for Girls, Birch-Wathen, Brearley, Browning, Buckley, Calhoun, Chapin, Collegiate, Dalton, Fieldston, Friends Seminary, Hewitt, Horace Mann School for Girls (which split from Horace Mann and later merged with the Lincoln School before closing in 1946), Lenox (which merged with Birch-Wathen), Nightingale, Riverdale Country School for Girls (which merged with their brother school to form Riverdale), St. Agatha, St. Bernard’s, Spence and Trinity. In the decades after its foundation, the Guild would also welcome a number of other schools into its ranks, particularly those peer schools in the Catholic tradition, Jewish schools and a number of other schools that were not established at the time of the Guild of Independent Schools of New York City’s coming into being. In the Guild’s early expansion, 32 member schools were counted before recent expansions to include, at last count, some 55 schools under the GISNY banner. These schools include a broad mix of schools covering the full K-12 spectrum, with a number catering to differing faiths or special educational needs. Whilst the schools that comprise the Guild of Independent Schools are independent, private schools, the progressive Walt Whitman School (a public school in New York, although it is unclear which as a number bear the name) was also invited to participate in the Guild and was listed as a member by Porter Sargent in their estimable guide, ‘The Handbook of Private Schools’, in 1958. The German International School New York is not a member, despite that it shares the same acronym, GISNY.
The Guild maintains a much lower profile now than in its earlier years when its’ efforts to develop a common approach to admissions policies, tuition fees and scholarships and general management of independent schools were widely published. Historically, the Guild would coordinate various interscholastic events and competitions, across the spectrum of athletics, academics and arts (such as the much publicised “Song Festival” at Carnegie Hall in 1941 which brought the public’s attention to the organisation).
Today, the organisation primarily performs a networking role providing support to its members who meet, typically, twice a year to discuss common issues and to sign-off on shared approaches. The Guild of Independent Schools of New York City does not sanction any discussion between its members regarding tuition fees or admissions procedures and no longer engages its members on these matters. Guild members must formally agree on matters such as school holiday timetabling. They also seek to establish common approaches to major issues of concern to their student body and/or to their governing bodies. The Guild and its member schools have made significant efforts in recent years to increase diversity within their student body and faculty to greater reflect the communities that they serve. Most of the GISNY schools work closely with scholarship funds, admissions bodies and community access programs that seek to develop a pathway to and through these schools for pupils from disadvantaged and/or minority backgrounds. In particular, many GISNY schools are associated with the A Better Chance (ABC) scheme, the Oliver Scholars program, the Prep for Prep initiative, REACH Prep, the TEAK Fellowship and the Wight Foundation. These schools are held in great regard and competition for places is extremely intense.
In addition, the Guild of Independent Schools of New York City is well known for its annual surveys which give a snapshot on key statistics from diversity representation of student body and faculty to average tuition fees and staffing salaries – these are reported by and published under the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), of which all of the GISNY schools are members. Most of the member schools are in good standing with the Independent Schools Admissions Association of Greater New York (ISAAGNY) and the New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS). They are all recommended schools participating in the Parents League of New York (PLNY). Many of the founding schools and their peers are closely involved with one another, including through consortia such as New York Interschool (New York’s answer to the elite boarding schools consortia such as the Eight Schools Association (ESA), Ten Schools Admission Organization (TSAO), Mid-Atlantic Boarding School Group (MABS), The Boarding School Coalition (BSC) and Great Boarding Schools (GBS), the defunct Independent School Council of New York City (ISCNYC) and the various other consortiums across the United States), and athletics conferences including the Athletic Association of Independent Schools (AAIS), the Athletic Conference of Independent Schools (ACIS), the Ivy Preparatory School League (IPSL) and the Private School Athletic Association (PSAA).
The Guild has some 50 members currently but does not publish information in relation to its membership and does not maintain a public profile. However, member schools (from whom senior officers have been appointed) have included the schools listed below. To find out more about the organisation, you might like to get in touch with your preferred member school.
Our readers are always very keen to hear about the experiences of staff or students at any of these schools.
