Students have the opportunity to enhance their skills by collaborating with peers from around the world, fostering teamwork and a broader perspective. Through structured guidance provided in various programs, they are encouraged to go beyond the standard curriculum and explore a diverse range of topics in depth. This not only broadens their knowledge base but also sparks curiosity and a love for learning. Additionally, these experiences build their confidence as they develop a stronger understanding of concepts and learn to apply them in real-world contexts, preparing them for academic and personal growth on a global scale.
Few programmes like ISP scientist, ISP MUn are conducted online. Other programmes like ISP SCU, ISP changemakers are conducted in person. So there is a good balance between online as well as in person platforms.
When a new program is introduced, the school communicates it to both students and parents. Students then register for the program, after which they receive guidance on the subsequent steps to participate and engage effectively.
