The Career-related Programme (CP) at ISP is a compelling alternative to the Diploma Programme for students in grades 11 and 12 who wish to follow a path more closely aligned with their passions and career goals.
The CP includes a core component made up of the Reflective Project, Service Learning, Language Development, and the Personal and Professional Skills course. Unlike the theory-based approach of the Diploma Programme, the CP offers students experiential, hands-on learning opportunities that are both practical and authentic, while encouraging students to be balanced in their approach to academics, career aspirations, and personal growth.
The Reflective Project, a key component of the CP, focuses on an ethical dilemma within the student’s chosen career field. Students engage in principled inquiry, starting with an exploration of ethics and key moral frameworks. Through this process, they investigate real-world challenges relevant to their area of study, often discovering unexpected insights and interconnections. This project fosters a deeper understanding of the complexities in their future professions while emphasising the importance of maintaining integrity and ethical decision-making—core aspects of being a principled learner.
"The reflective project gave me a deeper understanding of the subject matter, especially how it relates to real-world scenarios. It also helped me improve my research and analytical skills, which I believe will be essential for my future career."
Daniel, Grade 11
A unique feature of the Reflective Project is that students can choose an alternative format to replace part of the written portion of their research. They can create a film, podcast, or visual presentation—an opportunity many of our CP students are eager to pursue. For those focused on creative career paths, this offers a fantastic way to merge their passions with academic work. As one student expressed, the Reflective Project allows them to “value both my creativity and humanity.”
