Independent Directed Studies (IDS)

Independent Directed Studies allow students to initiate, develop and complete their own courses under the supervision of a teacher. An IDS course must be based upon the learning outcomes of a Ministry-Authorized, Board/Authority Authorized Course or Locally Developed Course.

One, two, three or four credits of selected studies may be earned for each IDS course reported.

Purpose of IDS

The IDS program allows students to:

• pursue learning outcomes that extend beyond those normally taught in the classroom.
• pursue studies independent of the classroom schedule.
• have prior learning recognized for a course they may not have completed.
