Corporate Sponsorship Program

Opportunities For Your Business

We invite you to join Independent Schools of St. Louis as a Corporate Sponsor. Your support gives you access to a professional network of Heads of Schools, Trustees, Business Officers and other key administrators and faculty. It also gives you a presence within the field of independent education and exposure to a community of interested constituents and consumers.

All ISSL Corporate Sponsors receive the following benefits for a fee of $1,000. Your sponsorship will automatically renew each year on the anniversary of your join date, unless specified otherwise.
