The ISS program operates on a compressed daily academic schedule.

While enrolled in ISS, students spend less time on academic work than they do in the regular classroom.

As such, it is imperative that you encourage your child to complete the ISS program as quickly as possible.

The ISS program teaches citizenship, self-discipline, responsibility, and a positive work ethic.

One way this is done is through service learning projects that enhance the school environment and directly benefit others.

40 minutes per day is scheduled for participation in these mandatory projects.
