Students & Parents

All students at ISB from Grades 10 to 12 are supported by a dedicated team of college and careers counsellors.

ISB counsellors advocate for students from the beginning to the end of the application process:

• Students are guided both individually and in the context of workshops and seminars presented to the entire class;
• College information evenings for students and parents are scheduled throughout the entire year, run by members of our team or guest speakers;
• University admissions representatives regularly visit ISB and attend a variety of events covering the major university systems around the world;
• Parents and students are kept updated with information relevant to the high school-to-university transition and careers through the Community Portal.

ISB counsellors represent ISB to the college and university community all year long:

• Counsellors make sure universities have a clear image of ISB as a world class institution of learning and model of excellence in international education through regular communication with admissions officers at universities of interest to our students around the world.

ISB counsellors have a wealth of expertise:

Our team is continuously researching the wealth of post-secondary options that exist for students and how to find the appropriate post-ISB ‘fit’ for each student. As a team the College and Careers Counsellors possess first-hand experience of the university systems typically applied to by ISB students as well as the passion and drive to constantly explore new institutions and systems.

University Representatives

ISB welcomes university representatives throughout the academic year for presentations about individual universities, mini-fairs, and admissions workshops on topics ranging from essay writing to choosing the right university.
