Student Services

Student Services Mission

Provide all students with opportunities to achieve their highest potential, providing supports to enhance academic performance and social/emotional wellbeing, as students learn to become proud, confident, and lifelong learners in a continually changing global society.

The ISM Academic Advisor provides a safe, caring environment and offers information, guidance, and support to:

• Assist students to develop positive and caring attitudes towards all individuals, while teaching students to highlight and appreciate their personal attributes
• Provide education and guidance in the areas of self-awareness, self-empowerment, and prevention
• Help students make conscience, responsible, and healthy decisions through interactive learning in communication and interpersonal skills, conflict resolutions, coping strategies, and academic and organization skills.
• Provide guidance lessons to promote academic excellence and social/emotional wellbeing. 
• Collaborate with students, parents, and teachers to identify support needs that may enhance academic performance and social/personal wellbeing.
• Provide transition supports.
