Independent Study High School
Independent Study • High School

Flexibility with standards — not chaos.

Portfolio & records

Projects and writing artifacts organized into a clear archive of learning.

Documentation-first model

ISHS emphasizes documentation so independent learning can be verified.

Core principle: The record matters. Logs + artifacts + rubrics create credibility.

Learning logs

What was studied, what was produced, and where the evidence is stored.

Artifact archive

Essays, labs, and projects saved in a consistent format for review and validation.

For families

This program is designed to be understandable at a glance: expectations, records, and progress checkpoints.

Clear expectations

Requirements are explicit. Rubrics are transparent. No guesswork.

Organized records

Learning logs and artifacts create a defensible record of education.
