  4. What is University Guidance? The process of helping students to understand themselves and facilitate the process of choosing and selecting a university by providing information and having one on one meetings.

  5. Our Goals at TMS We are very confident in our students and we know that they will get into university. It is important to us that we build their curiosity, self-knowledge and confidence of students, so they are happy and successful, for university and beyond. TMS builds the foundation for this through the Montessori Program, IB and 4 pillars. Our guidance program facilitates this process by knowing each child well and helping them know themselves well. We help them make their life plans, which includes a university education.

  6. Course Selections Course Selection Sheet – Handout • These choices have an impact on university admissions. • Students must take the correct courses in grade 11 and 12 to ensure that they meet university requirements. • There is a section on the back to fill out regarding future areas of study. No pressure here! Just general – there are not a lot of courses that universities are looking for. • Follow student interests and strengths. • Examples - engineering, medical science, business or arts.

  9. CAS Creativity, Action and Service • CAS guide • Starts at the beginning of grade 11 • Last for 18 months, with a long term service project. • Must meet the 8 outcomes. • Logged through reflection and evidence of learning, rather than counting hours. (In ManageBac) • Introduction done at Camp , plus students will attend the CAS fair.

  10. CAS Creativity, Action and Service • Combination of activities that are creative, action and have a service component. • Example – student may have a long term service project in the school writing a newspaper, that also raises an awareness about a global issue and collects funds for that organization. (Combination of action and service, and is over a long period of time). • May also join athletic teams. • By the CAS fair, all activities add up to satisfy the 8 outcomes.
