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).

What you didn’t know and what you need to know about the world’s most illustrious collegiate group… The Ivy League is a sports conference for a select group of universities and colleges from the Northeastern United States that share a reputation for excellence and prestige. Despite the group’s founding as a sports conference, the constituent members work closely together on other aspects of university life and the conference’s name now transcends its sports conference heritage to the extent that “Ivy League” has become a byword for the elite tier of universities and colleges in the United States and, indeed, internationally. We take a detailed look into the history and antecedent circumstances that gave us the most famous brand in academia.

The Elite Eight is a an informal moniker applied to a group of highly-selective boarding schools in the United States that are considered to be the most exclusive schools in the country. Whilst many of the schools are known to consider one another as equals and often collaborate with one another with respect to common admissions practices or their participation in formal associations (such as the Eight Schools Association – with which the term is sometimes erroneously associated, or the Ten Schools Admission Organization), the Elite Eight is not an official body. Nonetheless, it is a common term used by prospective pupils and admissions agents assisting families with attaining places to such elite prep schools.
