[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poolesville is called a whole school magnet, but there’s one program there that is exclusively for local students who are zoned for Poolesville (Individual Studies Program, aka ISP), and 3 programs that draw students from all over the county (Science, Math and Computer Science, aka SMACS; Humanities; and Global Ecology). All local students who aren’t in one of the 3 selective magnet programs are in ISP.

[u]Mission Statement[/u]

The mission of the Independent Studies 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: Project Lead the Way, Internship Capstone Class, Summer Work or Internships. Paid Emplyement, SSL or Volunteer Work, Community Service Project.
-All students recognize the unique opportunities and experiences in which they, as PHS students, participate.[/quote]

What does this mean in the real world? Either you’re in one of the three magnets or you’re with the dumb kids?[/quote]
