About

The Association of Independent Schools of Western Australia (AISWA) is a peak membership body representing and supporting independent schools across Western Australia. It is not a philanthropic foundation but rather an industry association that provides professional development, advocacy, policy advice, curriculum support, and operational services to its member schools.

Tips for Applicants

AISWA is not a grantmaking foundation and does not accept funding applications. It is a membership organization for independent schools in Western Australia. Schools can become members to access professional development, curriculum resources, policy advice, and sector representation. Individuals seeking employment in independent schools can access job listings through AISWA's website.

Giving Philosophy

AISWA does not operate as a grantmaking foundation. Its purpose is to support member schools through professional learning, curriculum development, policy consultation, and representation to government. It facilitates educational excellence and supports the independence and diversity of its member schools through service delivery rather than philanthropic giving.
