ABOUT ISM

Independent Study Mentorship (ISM) Project Based Research is an Advanced Academic

course designed for students wishing to mentor an adult professional in a chosen
career. With the mentor and the teacher-facilitator, each student will create a unique
plan of study and receive individual instruction. Students leave the high school campus
and go to the mentor’s place of business to study with professionals. This course is ideal
for the selfmotivated student with a passion for a particular area of study. ISM is a full
year/one credit course. Students in this course must perform at the collegiate or
professional level. Students must also provide their own transportation to mentorship
sites. This course is recommended for students in grades 11-12.
