Dear High School Students:
We believe it is important for each graduate to have the option to attend a four year college / university somewhere in the world. While we understand that every student may not choose to pursue post high school studies immediately after graduating, ISA is committed to providing opportunities that will keep the door open to our departing students.
Therefore, the ISA high school academic program is designed to qualify all ISA high school students for admission and success in a four-year university. One way we meet that goal is to provide a comprehensive academic program combined with offerings in the arts, athletics, and activities.
This course catalog describes all the classes available to students returning for the 2009 - 2010 school year as well as the necessary pre-requisites for each one. This catalog also contains information about graduation requirements and college planning. It is recommended that it be read carefully and used as a reference as classes are selected. The classes that students take now will determine their future options.
Please be aware, there is a difference between what ISA requires for graduation and what colleges require for admission. Students should research college admissions requirements carefully. In some cases, ISA requires more than a college might (foreign language for example). In other cases, ISA doesn’t require as much as the colleges might (four years of science or math). Check carefully. Are you going to Holland? The US? England? Canada? Korea? Each college within the different countries has its own requirements and distinct admissions process.
No matter what classes students have, they should be ready to work hard to earn their grades. English, math, science, social studies, foreign language, and fine arts are all important subjects as one continues through high school. Keeping future planning in mind, these are the courses that open future doors. If a student is up to the challenge of more homework and a faster pace, he or she might want to consider applying for an Advanced Placement class.
If you have any questions, please fell free to contact me or the counselor, Mrs. Sibley.
Sincerely,
Paul D. Sibley
Headmaster
