The Independent Schools Foundation was formally established in February 2000 as a registered charitable organization to provide diversity in the choice of education for Hong Kong students.
In 2003, The Independent Schools Foundation established a not-for-profit, private independent school, The ISF Academy, to offer a world-class bilingual, bicultural Putonghua and English language-based education.
Starting with just 56 students in Grade 1 to 4 in August 2003, The ISF Academy began operating at a temporary campus in Wan Chai, later expanding to a second temporary campus in Causeway Bay.
