ISP+Program

= International Studies Program = = = We offer a two year International Studies Preparation program that provides students with the opportunity to “test the IB waters” to ensure they are in the programme that best reflects their abilities. ISP is a preparatory programme that focuses on developing skills necessary for success in the full IB Diploma Programme.

An ISP class will do the following:

 * === Teach the regular academic ministry work, an 80% in ISP is an 80% in a regular Academic Class. ===
 * Provide time for enhanced activities that will expose and prepare students for the challenges in the Grade 11 and 12 IBDP, i.e. IB like assessments, International Mindedness and Learner Profile weaved into lessons directly.
 * Students will also be involved with ISP field trips, guest speakers and some release periods to prepare for transitioning to IB in their grade 11 year.
 * Students are encouraged to review the requirements for their OSSD to ensure they are on track to earn their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
