VISION:
ISP sees a high-quality education as a fundamental right of every child. ISP believes all children deserve respect, encouragement, and opportunities for learning. These key components of the ISP program provide a rigorous foundation for students, allowing them to gain knowledge, link skills, and develop successful attitudes. ISP provides, as its cornerstone achievement, successful well-rounded students, who are prepared to meet the challenges of higher education, explore career interests and succeed as responsible and engaged global citizens.
MISSION:
The mission of the ISP program is to challenge local Poolesville students to create a rigorous, focused course of study based on their key interests within the program’s framework. The in-depth study available through participating in the ISP program allows students to concentrate their studies in the area of their greatest interests, further preparing these young people for success with higher education and careers.
The Independent Studies Program philosophy insures that:
- All students have a rich academic experience they would not have at any other MCPS school
- All students have access to pathways focused in: Biological & Physical Science; Cultural & Political Studies; Music/Arts/Media Studies; Technology & Math Studies; or Original Studies
- All students recognize the unique opportunities and experiences in which they, as PHS students, participate.
