Welcome to the High School at the
International School of Port of Spain.
For all students, high school is a
significant time in their development. Students enter high school as
adolescents and leave as young adults. In four years students are
expected to mature, both academically and emotionally, to be ready
for “real-life” after school.
The high school follows an American
curriculum model that enables graduates to continue their academic
studies at a tertiary level. The educational program is balanced
with opportunities for choice and specialization while still
focusing on the requirements for tertiary education. The high school
has a wide array of Advanced Placement (AP) courses available for a
school of our size. We are proud of the record of achievement of our
students. We are also proud of our graduates who have made their way
to colleges and universities in the US, Canada and beyond.
The high school is relatively small and
so a close and collegial atmosphere exists, with students and
teachers working towards a common goal of high achievement. A sense
of community is built through the small homeroom groups that meet
once a day. Students are also encouraged to be active members of the
school community be being involved in decision making and service
through student council. The high school encourages participation in
community service, sports, extra curricular activities and clubs.
The unique location of Trinidad affords
many opportunities for learning to take place outside the classroom
and strengthening links with the host country, its culture and the
Caribbean.
The high school, along with the entire
ISPS community, is committed to an atmosphere of pluralism and
tolerance.
Please follow the links on the high
school page to see teachers and get information on the courses that
are offered and explore some of the other activities offered at
ISPS.
