The Independent Study Mentorship Program(ISM) is a rigorous, unique course that is offered to high-achieving juniors and seniors that are accepted through an intensive application process that consists of essays, teacher recommendations, and an interview.
Once accepted, students choose a topic of study to explore throughout the year and complete an interview process to connect with a professional mentor. Through this collaboration, students will eventually create a final product based on their year-round research development.
ISM is an incredible opportunity that allows high-school students to gain in-depth professional and visual experiences that can further their passion and interest with a specific career. Throughout, students gain interview and professional skills, while also learning to maintain a strong work ethic, leadership, and learning-based mindset.
