Independent School Management (ISM) is an organization dedicated to helping K–12 private-independent schools strengthen leadership and enrich the student experience. Founded in 1975 by Rod and Anne Snelling, ISM began with Ideas & Perspectives, an advisory periodical sharing practical insights and best practices. It has since grown into a resource and services partner for school leaders navigating the challenges of school management.
ISM offers memberships, research-backed strategies, publications, and practical tools to support school operations and decision-making. Its consulting services address school leadership, business and operations, academic leadership, admissions and enrollment management, fundraising and development, marketing and communications, and boards of trustees. Schools can also access surveys for families, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and applicants, as well as EdTech solutions, including ScheduLogic. Professional learning opportunities include the Summer Institute, Advancement Academy, Heads Retreat, webinars, and virtual workshops. Through these services and resources, ISM aims to equip administrators with informed, forward-looking guidance tailored to independent schools, helping them lead with clarity and confidence.
