Scope and Contents

From the Series:

As early as the 1970s, Class XII students have had the option to create an Independent Study Project (also called an Independent Senior Project, or ISP). Students select a subject of their choice, the parameters of the project, and how their learning will be exhibited, whether it be a final essay, analysis, play, artistic creation, or combination of these things. Presentations are given in the spring.
