IDS allow a student to initiate, develop and complete his or her own study, under the supervision of a teacher, over and above the learning outcomes of a Ministry-Authorized or Board/Authority-Approved Course; an additional 2 or 4 credits could be accumulated in this way.
Students pursue learning outcomes independently and beyond those normally taught in the classroom, e.g., credit could be granted for IDS Biology 11 for an independent study of plants.
See a Counsellor for details.
