Independent School League
The Independent School League (ISL) is a group of 16 highly competitive day and boarding schools in the Greater Boston area. All member schools embrace a longstanding commit to the exclusive use of need-based financial aid. As a result, there are no athletic or other merit-based scholarships.

Guidelines for Appropriate Conduct at Athletic Events
By Players:
Players shall comply fully with the rulings of the officials. In no way, either by voice, action or gesture, shall they demonstrate their dissatisfaction with the decisions made. Players must never forget that they represent their school.
By Spectators:
ISL schools do not tolerate any spectator, either student or adult, whose behavior is disrespectful toward players, officials, coaches or other spectators. Nor will they permit any type of spectator behavior that detracts from the proper conduct of the game or disadvantages a player or team.
