University and Careers
Counselling
ISNS"s University and Careers Counsellors(UCC) are vital mentors for both students and their families when it comes to planning for their post-secondary education. These counsellors provide comprehensive assistance to students in navigating the challenging and demanding process of applying to universities worldwide. They assess students" personality traits and career interests, compile transcripts and letters of recommendation, and collaborate with each student to create a customized path through high school and into their best-fit university.

ISNS"s counselling process begins early, with students in grade 6, and continues until grade 11, which provides an in-depth understanding of their strengths, interests, and hobbies, leading to better guidance and support for their future plans.

What UCC is working on before the university application stage
From grade 6 to grade 8 we are working with the students during the MYP hours. It"s roughly like six hours per year and from grade 9 to 10 we do monthly meetings with the students. When it gets to DP, from grade 11 to grade 12, we are working with them more and more.
G6-G8
For students in Grades 6 to 8, we focus on developing their interests, personality traits, strengths, and hobbies. This is an exploration of what they enjoy and where their passions lie.
G9-G10
In Grades 9 and 10, we focus more on the academic potential of students, their interests, strengths and hobbies, and how they can be combined to form a pathway to university. We further investigate the requirements for university programs, as well as what DP or high school courses students need to meet all of the requirements.

Tailored lessons from G6 helping students to identify their career path
G6-G8
It is actually hard for the students and maybe for parents as well to identify what they really want to study at university when they are in grade 6 to 8. So during the class we are more working on their personality interests, the career profiles. We are using UniFrog and also before we were using BridgeU to introduce certain kinds of quiz for students for their references. For example, their personality type and possible career path. The quizzes like that can help students get a general idea of what might fit you.

G9-G12
Since grade 9, the focus has shifted to career pathways.
What do students want to achieve in the future?
How does everything we’ve done in the past work?
Learning about skills; strengths; interests; academics;
how do these skills and interests relate to different careers?
Then, in grade 10, we’re looking at those careers, university programs, and making sure they’re on the right track to achieving their goals. They’re really focused on university prerequisites for their program courses and picking their DP courses during grade 10.
Typically, we’ll have a Parents’ Workshop to inform parents about the application process. We’ll have one for the end of grade 10 and the start of grade 11, and we’ll also have more one-on-one family sessions when they’re entering their second half of grade 11 and in grade 12.
Key Points
Important Documents
All the preparation documents will be initiated and finished on one drive. This is a shared drive only for the counselors and students just to make sure all the work the students produce is authentic. The counselors usually need to sign the recommendation letters to universities to make sure all the application documents are authentic.
Academic Integrity
One of our key points at ISNS is academic integrity. We believe the students are capable of doing their own work; they"re capable of doing it to a university level standard. We follow the same process with UCC and their university applications. So when they"re writing their essays; when they"re preparing their resumes, everything is held to that stained level or the same standard of academic integrity.
Confidentiality
At the beginning of grade 11, one of the things that we do with parents and with students is sign a UCC contract. Within that it provides parents with a complete outline of everything we do; an overview of all of our policies around confidentiality. Making sure that official school documents like predicted grade reports, transcripts, letters of reference, those things go directly from UCC to the university the students are applying to.

Strong Reputation and Trusted Relationships with Universities
around the world
The relationship between UCC and university admissions officers is something we"ve worked for years to build and it is a relationship built on trust and respect, based on the fact that we follow the best practice throughout the industry. And we"ve developed a really strong reputation with these universities.
CONTACT
Students are always welcome to stop by UCC office or send messages on Teams. For parents they can send an email and it is accessible to all grade levels at ISNS.

6至12年級定制課程,發掘學生潛力
G6-G8
實際上,對于學生和家長來說,在6至8年級時,很難確定他們真正想在大學學習什么。所以在課堂上,我們更多地關注他們的個性興趣,職業傾向。我們使用軟件UniFrog,之前使用BridgeU,介紹一些測試給同學們參考。例如,他們的性格類型測試和可能的職業道路等等。這樣的測驗可以幫助學生大致了解可能適合的職業道路。

我們通常會舉行家長研討會,來知會家長大學申請過程。我們在10年級末和11年級初有一次,進入到11年級下半年和12年級時還有更多一對一的個人家庭會議。
重要事項
重要文件
所有準備文件都在一個共享文件夾啟動和完成。這是一個僅供顧問和學生使用的共享文件夾,以確保學生的所有資料文件都是真實的。顧問通常需要在給大學的推薦信上簽字,以確保所有申請文件的真實性。
學術誠信
ISNS的核心價值之一是學術誠信。我們相信學生有能力完成自己的任務;他們有能力達到大學水平的標準。輔導員和學生及其大學申請遵循相同的流程。所以他們寫論文的時候;準備簡歷的時候,都需保持同樣要求的學術誠信標準。
保密性
11年級開始時,我們與家長和學生一起做的一件事就是簽署UCC(大學與職業顧問)合同。其中,包含了我們所做的一切的完整概述;我們關于保密的所有政策的概述。確保正式的學校文件,如預測成績報告、成績單、推薦信,這些文件直接從大學職業顧問發送到學生申請的大學。
