Calling All Tutors!
The Council of International Schools University
Tour took place at ISS on November 9th with
representatives from 17 colleges/universities
participating.
The universities were quite diverse and hailed from the
US, Canada, Monaco, England, Japan, and Austria.
Students and families were able to hear presentations
on university application processes, how students are
selected, planning for campus life, and how to finance
college.
Students and families also were able to meet with
the individual representatives to discuss career/
major interests, academic programs and internship
opportunities, as well as whether a given university
might be a “good fit.”
Overwhelmingly, the representatives were impressed
with the students at ISS. Without a single exception,
they could not get over how mature, intelligent, and
thoughtful our students are.
One of the many services offered by the High School
Counseling Office is the maintenance of a list of names
of parents who are both willing and able to serve as
tutors to ISS students in need of additional academic
support.
As our demand for tutors is greater than our supply, we
would like to invite parents with backgrounds in core
academic areas - especially in math and science
- to join our pool of mentors/tutors.
If you are interested in assisting please contact Dr.
Kim Caroline-Strange at 51 55 43 13 or KCaroline-
Strange@isstavanger. no
The Counseling Office provides a list of area tutors as a
courtesy to ISS students and their parents. All scheduling
and private tuition arrangements are the sole responsibility
of the tutor and student.
They shared that ISS will now be included as one of the
schools to visit during upcoming CIS-Scandinavian
Tours.
We were also fortunate that the fog lifted that day and
the representatives were able to visit the harbor and
Gamle Stavanger.
They also chose the Three Swords as the site for their
Tour photo.
Universities in attendance were:
American Intercontinental University, London;
Creighton University; Grinnell College; International
University of Monaco; Johns Hopkins University;
Marist College; Marymount College, Palos Verdes;
MODUL University, Vienna; Parsons The New
School for Design; Ritsumeikan University, Japan; St.
Francis Xavier University, Canada; St. Olaf College;
State University of New York College at Plattsburgh;
Thompson Rivers University; University of California,
Davis; and Whitworth University.
