Our approach allows us to strengthen the student experience while keeping an ISB education accessible to more families, and it is how many independent schools operate; it’s one of the ways great school communities continue to grow and thrive.

Build with us by making a gift to ISB’s Fund for ExcellenceThe Fund for Excellence (FFE) is ISB’s annual giving program.
Each year, it provides immediate, unrestricted support for the school’s highest priorities, allowing ISB to invest where the need is greatest. Gifts to the FFE strengthen every aspect of school life, from faculty excellence and classroom resources to arts, athletics, and learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom.
Like many independent schools, ISB intentionally combines tuition with philanthropy to support the full educational experience.
Rather than placing the entire cost of an ISB education on tuition alone, we rely on community giving through the Fund for Excellence to strengthen the people, programs, and opportunities that make ISB exceptional while helping keep an ISB education accessible to more families.
Tuition builds the foundation. Community giving strengthens the experience.
A strong culture of giving is one sign of a strong school community.
Participation demonstrates a shared commitment to ISB and the educational experience we create together. It also reflects the strength of our community to those considering investing in ISB’s future.
While every family’s gift is different, every family’s participation strengthens our community.
As we like to say: No single family builds ISB. Together, we do.
Every family’s circumstances and philanthropic priorities are unique.
We invite each family to make a gift that is meaningful for them and reflects their belief in ISB and its mission. Our goal is not equal gifts, it is meaningful participation across our community.
