Juniors' Workshops / Sessions:

Bearcats and Beyond Sessions

Bearcats and Beyond starts at the beginning of September and runs into mid-October.  These 6 sessions introduce students to life after ISM whether it be taking a gap year, working, or going off to college/university.  At the end of the sessions, students will be well-equipped to meet with their counselor and parents for the Student Led Post-ISM conference.

Student Led Post - ISM Conference 

These conferences will be held from February-May in Junior Year.  Students will present their slideshow from Bearcats and Beyond - communicating their hopes and aspirations for life after ISM.  Prior to the conference, families are provided with a video from their counselor with extensive information on the university process.  Any questions about the process can be discussed after the student presentation during this meeting.
