Independent Projects are intended to provide students with a learning extension based on their own individual interests. Independent projects can be assigned at any time throughout the school year and are facilitated by the extended studies teacher. These self-directed learning activities are appropriate for students with sufficient initiative and persistence to complete a project of their own choosing. They encourage creativity and original thinking among students seeking a challenge allowing them to explore ways of connecting unrelated issues in creative ways. Most work is completed outside the school setting.
Entrance Criteria: Collaborative recommendation between classroom teacher and Extended Studies teacher
Exit Criteria: Support is in place for as long as necessary. Study ends after completion of task, or student expresses a desire to stop.
