Students submit drafts and receive full criterial feedback for each of the three components, each year of the program.

PGs for university/college applications are only requested on a need basis and are not shared with students and families, which works well and minimises stressful situations. Students trust in the process, and guidance is given if students are aiming too high or too low.

Our students are getting more ambitious and a larger number are applying to top universities. As ISH gets better known for its high quality students, offers will become more commonplace. This is already becoming evident in the UK, where several offers come from top universities. Reverse applications systems, such as Concourse and Meto are also yielding multiple offers each month.
