x10 ISASA Teacher Internships And Graduate Internships

March 27, 2026 by Blessing Khumalo

About ISASA

The Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa (ISASA) is the largest and oldest non-profit membership organization for private schools in Southern Africa, serving over 900 member schools and educating more than 210,000 pupils. It promotes high-quality, independent education through quality assurance, advocacy, and professional development.

Key Aspects of ISASA:

Purpose: ISASA acts as a professional organization, not a governing body, aiming to promote independent education’s interests, provide services for sustainability, and ensure ethical practices, according to ISASA.
Membership: It serves diverse private schools across South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini, Namibia, Angola, Lesotho, Mozambique, and Zambia.
Quality Assurance: Member schools are required to undergo a quality assurance process to ensure high standards of education.
Support: ISASA offers specialized support to its members, including professional development for educators and school leaders, and provides networking platforms such as the Southern African Bursars of Independent Schools Association (SABISA).
Advocacy: It represents the interests of the independent school sector in legal, policy, and government discussions.
Resources: SchoolFinder is an ISASA service that helps parents locate member schools.

ISASA traces its origins back to the Conference of Headmasters and Headmistresses formed in 1929, and more recently to the Independent Schools Council, which was dissolved to create ISASA in 1999.

ISASA today is a not for profit company (NPC), which represents more than 900 independent schools in South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini, Namibia, Angola, Mozambique, Lesotho, Mauritius and Zambia. Over 210,000 learners attend ISASA-affiliated schools.

Since the collapse of the apartheid state and the advent of democracy in South Africa, dramatic changes have occurred in the independent (private) school sector. In 1990, there were approximately 550 registered independent schools in the country. The dominant public perception of independent schools at that time was “white, affluent and exclusive”.

In 2022 there are at least 2282 independent schools in South Africa.[2] The sector educates more than 735,000 learners, of which roughly 75% are black (60% are Black African). Traditional, high-fee independent schools are now a minority in the sector, with only an estimated 20% of schools charging fees of more than R80 000 per annum.

Despite an increase in the number of for-profit independent schools, and in particular for-profit “chain schools”, the sector remains largely not-for-profit. Most independent schools are also small schools, with 350 learners per school or less. The sector serves a wide range of different religions, philosophies and educational approaches across the full socio-economic spectrum.

Available Teacher Internships and Graduate Internships

Various opportunities are available with diffferent institutions. Closing dates vary per each institute or organisation. See link below on how to apply.
