Independent Association of Prep Schools
Powerful Allies is Proud to Support IAPS. It is a schools association with over 660 of the worlds leading prep schools in membership. Schools must reach a very high standard to be eligible for membership, with strict criteria on teaching a broad curriculum, maintaining excellent standards of pastoral care and keeping staff members’ professional development training up to date. Although each of our schools is independent, and has its own ethos, they are all committed to delivering an excellent, well-rounded education to the pupils in their care. We believe that schools should be unfettered by government interference and with fewer financial and other resourcing constraints than state schools, to ensure that their educational provision is tailored to the needs of the individual children.
Methodist Independent Schools Trust

MIST is responsible for 12 schools, and also actively works with 3 Associated Schools and 3 Affiliated Schools in England and Wales.

The majority of schools also offer a boarding education.
Since the founding of Kingswood School by John Wesley in 1748, Methodist Independent Schools have been providing a high quality, rounded and caring education. MIST is an attractive group of schools because it respects the local contexts in which its schools operate, delegating operational control to the schools while offering support, advice and investment centrally.
