The Independent Schools Foundation (ISF) was established in February 2000 as a registered charitable organisation in response to a pressing educational need in Hong Kong to provide diversity in choice of education for local students.  The Foundation is governed by a Board of Governors.  The ISF Board set out the overall policies of The ISF Academy and established a School Management Committee in accordance with the Education Ordinance and Education Regulations.
