What is special about our programmes-personalised learning

• ISS has developed a personalised learning programme to be offered to all students from August 2020

• All students will have their own learning plan based on their own learning needs

• The plan is based on data we gather and analyse on each individual student

• All students develop personal goals:– In each of their subjects– Related to the skills necessary to learn effectively (study habits, note

taking, research etc)– Related to their contribution to our community (service, ECAs etc)

• Programme is being field tested ready for August 2020• We are one of very few schools world-wide to have truly

embraced this approach- a proven method to improve student achievement.
