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.

大學(xué)與職業(yè)咨詢輔導(dǎo)

在規(guī)劃高等教育時(shí)，ISNS 的大學(xué)與職業(yè)顧問(wèn)是學(xué)生及其家人的重要導(dǎo)師。這些輔導(dǎo)員為學(xué)生提供全面的幫助，幫助他們應(yīng)對(duì)充滿挑戰(zhàn)和要求很高的申請(qǐng)全球大學(xué)的過(guò)程。他們?cè)u(píng)估學(xué)生的性格特征和職業(yè)興趣，編制成績(jī)單和推薦信，并與每位學(xué)生合作，為他們打造定制的高中升學(xué)路徑和最適合他們的大學(xué)。

ISNS 的咨詢過(guò)程從6年級(jí)的學(xué)生開(kāi)始，一直持續(xù)到11年級(jí)，深入了解他們的優(yōu)勢(shì)、興趣和愛(ài)好，從而為他們的未來(lái)計(jì)劃提供更好的指導(dǎo)和支持。

1

大學(xué)申請(qǐng)前顧問(wèn)們做些什么？

從6年級(jí)到8年級(jí)，我們?cè)贛YP課程期間給學(xué)生全程指導(dǎo)。大約每年六個(gè)小時(shí)；從9年級(jí)到10年級(jí)，我們每月與學(xué)生開(kāi)會(huì)。到11，12年級(jí)DP階段時(shí)，我們的會(huì)面越來(lái)越多。

G6-G8

對(duì)于6年級(jí)到8年級(jí)的學(xué)生，我們更多的是關(guān)注他們的興趣、性格、特長(zhǎng)、喜歡的科目等等，更多的是探索他們喜歡什么，他們的熱情所在。

G9-G10

在9年級(jí)和10年級(jí)，我們開(kāi)始更多地關(guān)注學(xué)生的學(xué)術(shù)潛力、他們的興趣、優(yōu)勢(shì)和愛(ài)好，以及這些如何結(jié)合起來(lái)為你的道路創(chuàng)造未來(lái)。我們開(kāi)始更多地探索他們進(jìn)入大學(xué)課程所需的，以及需要哪些DP或高中課程才能滿足所有要求。

6至12年級(jí)定制課程，發(fā)掘?qū)W生潛力

G6-G8

實(shí)際上，對(duì)于學(xué)生和家長(zhǎng)來(lái)說(shuō)，在6至8年級(jí)時(shí)，很難確定他們真正想在大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)什么。所以在課堂上，我們更多地關(guān)注他們的個(gè)性興趣，職業(yè)傾向。我們使用軟件UniFrog，之前使用BridgeU，介紹一些測(cè)試給同學(xué)們參考。例如，他們的性格類型測(cè)試和可能的職業(yè)道路等等。這樣的測(cè)驗(yàn)可以幫助學(xué)生大致了解可能適合的職業(yè)道路。

G9-G12

9年級(jí)開(kāi)始學(xué)生開(kāi)始規(guī)劃職業(yè)道路發(fā)展。

將來(lái)想做什么；

我們過(guò)去所做的一切如何；

了解他們的技能， 優(yōu)勢(shì)， 興趣， 學(xué)術(shù)成績(jī)；

這些東西如何潛在地聯(lián)系到不同的職業(yè)中。

然后在10年級(jí)，我們將研究這些職業(yè)，大學(xué)課程，確保學(xué)生朝著正確的方向前進(jìn)。10年級(jí)主要側(cè)重于大學(xué)錄取要求以及選擇DP課程。

我們通常會(huì)舉行家長(zhǎng)研討會(huì)，來(lái)知會(huì)家長(zhǎng)大學(xué)申請(qǐng)過(guò)程。我們?cè)?0年級(jí)末和11年級(jí)初有一次，進(jìn)入到11年級(jí)下半年和12年級(jí)時(shí)還有更多一對(duì)一的個(gè)人家庭會(huì)議。

重要事項(xiàng)

重要文件

所有準(zhǔn)備文件都在一個(gè)共享文件夾啟動(dòng)和完成。這是一個(gè)僅供顧問(wèn)和學(xué)生使用的共享文件夾，以確保學(xué)生的所有資料文件都是真實(shí)的。顧問(wèn)通常需要在給大學(xué)的推薦信上簽字，以確保所有申請(qǐng)文件的真實(shí)性。

學(xué)術(shù)誠(chéng)信

ISNS的核心價(jià)值之一是學(xué)術(shù)誠(chéng)信。我們相信學(xué)生有能力完成自己的任務(wù)；他們有能力達(dá)到大學(xué)水平的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。輔導(dǎo)員和學(xué)生及其大學(xué)申請(qǐng)遵循相同的流程。所以他們寫論文的時(shí)候；準(zhǔn)備簡(jiǎn)歷的時(shí)候，都需保持同樣要求的學(xué)術(shù)誠(chéng)信標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

保密性

11年級(jí)開(kāi)始時(shí)，我們與家長(zhǎng)和學(xué)生一起做的一件事就是簽署UCC（大學(xué)與職業(yè)顧問(wèn)）合同。其中，包含了我們所做的一切的完整概述；我們關(guān)于保密的所有政策的概述。確保正式的學(xué)校文件，如預(yù)測(cè)成績(jī)報(bào)告、成績(jī)單、推薦信，這些文件直接從大學(xué)職業(yè)顧問(wèn)發(fā)送到學(xué)生申請(qǐng)的大學(xué)。

Strong Reputation and Trusted Relationships with Universities

around the world

大學(xué)職業(yè)顧問(wèn)和大學(xué)招生人員之間的關(guān)系是我們多年來(lái)努力建立的，這種關(guān)系建立在信任和尊重的基礎(chǔ)上，基于我們一直以來(lái)遵循整個(gè)行業(yè)的實(shí)踐操作。我們?cè)谶@些大學(xué)中享有很高的聲譽(yù)。

聯(lián)系方式

如果學(xué)生想要了解信息，可隨時(shí)訪問(wèn)大學(xué)職業(yè)顧問(wèn)辦公室或用Teams聯(lián)系。想要獲取信息的家長(zhǎng)，也可以發(fā)送電子郵件。大學(xué)職業(yè)顧問(wèn)服務(wù)于所有年級(jí)。
