In the final years at ISHCMC we believe in supporting students to pursue individual pathways with a purpose that will reflect their interests and passions and we encourage students to make healthy and thoughtful course and pathway selections. The conversations between parents, students, and the school will be as unique as the individuals involved and selections should reflect that individuality and allow students to be the best learner they can be.
