The Goal of this Project My project has been designed to support Upper School students in ISA who are having difficulties suiting themselves to the school community. It has not only been designed to get better grades, but to maximize the potential of the students to have them learn in the best quality community. I would like to create a community where it enables students to use best of their abilities.
