HS SUMMER


The HS summer program gives older RIS students opportunities to strengthen established skills, accelerate prior learning, and move to the next level of understanding. With a wide array of courses across the HS curriculum, students enjoy the luxury of selecting classes that best support their educational goals for the summer and the school year. 

Students may choose a morning or afternoon class or both. Each class is 3 hours of content with a 25-minute break. By selecting a required elective course during the summer, such as P.E., Art, or Values, students can free up a credit hour for the upcoming school year. Students may not be absent more than twice to receive credit and should submit a medical certificate for all absences.

Thai cuisine is a simple yet clever combination of Eastern and Western influences harmoniously combined to create this “explosion of flavors.” Sour, sweet, salty, bitter, and spicy flavors make each dish come alive. To cover as much as possible, the Thai Cuisine course groups the variety of Thai dishes into seven big groups: Soups, Appetizers, Salads, Main dishes, Curries, Desserts, and Street food. Indeed, the 24 dishes cooked during this course will give you the confidence to cook Thai food for your future college friends. For the best experience, we are limited to 16 students per class. 

The extended essay is the culmination of a long process: the final product is like the tip of a very deep iceberg. While you 'only' see 3,000 - 4,000 words in the end, hours of research, writing, editing, and reviewing lie below the surface. The extended essay is a unique opportunity to demonstrate skills that can be developed in any research environment where citing sources correctly and writing abstracts are foregrounded. By breaking down this enormous task into smaller, more manageable tasks, we will develop the skills necessary for a successful extended essay. This class, therefore, enhances the skills related to the extended essay by studying sample essays, understanding the criteria and assessment practices of IB examiners, and discovering a wide range of interests in EE-related topics. Remember that the extended essay cannot be written in one night or week. 'Practice makes perfect,' so developing these skills requires time and careful planning in a focused environment. The EE summer program aims to allow IB students to do just that.
