High school advisory sessions are mandatory for all students. Students are assigned to small groups, led by high school teachers. The advisory sessions serve four main functions: to support experiential learning program involvement, including CAS/L progress; to educate students around personal and social issues (e.g., substance abuse; bullying); to address age-specific counselling matters (e.g., goal-setting; course selections; university planning); and to provide each ISK student with a designated teacher mentor who is available to help with pastoral issues.
