Personal Portfolio

Portfolio for Elite Programs and Scholarships

Teachers are routinely asked to provide letters of reference for students in the Enhanced Learning Program.  Prestigious universities, elite programs and scholarship applications require detailed anecdotal information to supplement transcripts and award lists. The calibre of these letters directly impacts admission. We strongly recommend :
  • Keeping track of your accomplishments in a personal portfolio and obtaining signatures and phone numbers of supervising personnel
  • Providing this information to your referees at the time of application
Be Prepared!

intellectual promise intellectual curiosity

special talents concern for others
