The Independent Study and Mentorship program presents students with the opportunity to select their own path and forge their own destiny. Students in the ISM program have the opportunity to choose their own field of study and seek out a mentor in that chosen field. ISM promotes individualism and creativity by enabling students to pursue their passions. The program presents students with exposure to a professional environment and bestows upon them invaluable work experience, that can translate into various areas of life, and serves as an excellent way to train our nation's youth to enter the work force.
