Independent Study Project (ISP)

 Subject
Subject Source: Local sources
Scope Note: The Independent Study Project (ISP) program offers seniors the opportunity to pursue an area of interest independently, under the direction of a faculty mentor. Students may drop up to two full-credit courses and physical education in the spring term to free up the time necessary to examine, in depth, a topic of their own choice. Students have weekly meetings with their in-school faculty mentor and also attend a weekly seminar at which they present a brief report on each week’s progress. All projects involve research, as well as a written paper. At the end of the term, students present their completed projects in public, and their work is evaluated by a committee of ISP mentors.
