Independent Schools Queensland

Welcome to Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ), located at 189 Grey Street in South Brisbane, Australia. As a prominent establishment and point of interest in the education sector, ISQ is dedicated to promoting excellence and leading research in education-related public policy.

At ISQ, we prioritize delivering quality professional learning through both on and offline channels. We believe in fostering collaboration and continual growth across the sector, ensuring that educators have access to the resources and support they need to provide the best education possible.

Independent schools have become a valued choice for an increasing number of Queensland families, educating 16.2 percent of all school-age children. For over 50 years, ISQ has been the voice of the sector, advocating for parental choice in schooling and supporting the diverse needs of students and families.

We are proud to see the Queensland independent school sector continue to grow, and we welcome the 2023-24 State Budget as a positive step towards further development. Additionally, ISQ is pleased to announce the appointment of a NSSAB reviewer, enhancing our commitment to maintaining high standards within the sector.

One of our key focuses is on the improvement of student outcomes, and research conducted by our School Improvement Manager, Eva Perry, delves into effective improvement and growth processes for teachers. This research highlights the benefits of high-quality professional learning and feedback in enhancing student achievement.

As the peak body representing, promoting, and supporting the independent schooling sector, ISQ is dedicated to fostering choice in education. We acknowledge and respect the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, as well as non-Indigenous Australians, to the education of all children in our country. ISQ is committed to supporting the ongoing journey of Reconciliation through education.
