Career &
​Higher Education Planning

Career and Higher Education Planning @ ISD

Beginning in grade 9, career exploration and higher education planning takes on a more prominent role. The Grade 9-12 Counsellors are available to students and their parents, who are contacted at the appropriate times for testing, career-exploration, higher education information sessions and application procedures. Students and parents in grades 9-12 are always welcome to initiate their own contact with the Grade 9-12 Counsellors through Mrs. Massong, the Counselling Department Secretary. She will put you in touch with the relevant counsellor.

In the meantime, please enjoy a few articles about higher education admissions.

And always remember...

"Don’t believe that the only school worth attending is one that would not admit you. That you go to college is more important than where you go. Find a school whose academic strengths match your interests and that devotes resources to instruction in those fields. Recognize that your own motivation, ambition and talents will determine your success more than the college name on your diploma."  - Alan Krueger
