ISA Internship Program

The Internship Program is one of The International School of the Americas' hallmark real-world learning experiences. This graduation requirement provides all students the opportunity to explore career interests and potential fields of study for post-secondary life.

The crucial element that distinguishes the internship experience from most other short-term jobs is that the internship involves a "Learning Agenda." The internship is a goal-oriented, monitored position related to a career field that is of interest to a student. Each senior designs his or her internship to suit his or her learning objectives and interests.

NEISD Student Volunteer Service Award Guidelines

• Students are eligible for recognition in grades K-12.
• In order for student volunteer hours to count, the service hours must be performed outside of the regular school hours.
• Drives – such as clothes, coat, food, books etc.. Students can count travel time, and time it took to pick out the item. Also, students can count the time it took to organize and deliver goods to the organization if they are helping with that portion.
• Fostering Animals – Students who volunteer with a Foster Animal can count 2 hours a day Monday through Friday during the school year and can record up to 5 hours a day during weekends and summers for fostering.
• Those who volunteer for camps in the summer can count the official hours they work at the camp.
• The age your child is on March 31 of each year determines the hours needed for each level of the Student Volunteer Service Award.
