Joan Walter, then President of The Rivers' Parents League, conceived
the idea of PIN as a means for parents to come together and exchange
information among Boston area independent schools.
In the fall of 1985, the groundwork for PIN was laid when a symposium
was held at Rivers and a questionnaire was sent to potential member
schools. In February 1986, the first meeting was held with ten
schools in attendance. In June 1989, the Lower School Division
was added.
In 1994, PIN became a Massachusetts not-for-profit corporation. Current
PIN membership includes 67 schools (and growing!) representing a cross-section of the
independent school community; day and boarding; single-sex; and
co-educational schools.
