At ISB, we always do our best to support students with applications to other programs, ranging from schools after ISB to summer school or online programs. There are times when these applications require recommendations or significant paperwork from ISB teachers, counselors, or administrators.
In order for us to do our best work to support your child’s application, we require 3-4 weeks for this process. These often come in for many students at once and involve the same teachers, so we want to be sure to allow time for drafting, making sure they are comprehensive, and that they are written well to support the student.
If you are considering these programs for your children, please get the information to your child’s counselor as quickly as possible – they will coordinate which teachers need to complete work, what’s required, and communicate with families. Please don’t send requests directly to the teacher, as that can be overwhelming (imagine 20 recommendation requests all coming in at the same time) and make it harder to provide the best possible recommendation.
With summer programs coming soon, please do this as soon as possible if it applies to you and your child.
