The Independent School Fair for People of Color was conceived in 2006 by four directors of admission from a broad spectrum of Seattle area independent schools. They saw a need to expose, enlighten and engage families of color in a discussion about the unique offerings of independent schools. What resulted was the creation of a fair that would help families of color navigate the options, opportunities and resources of independent schools for a great academic experience. While specifically designed for families of color, all families are welcome to attend.
