Beyond LIS
The Beyond LIS team works with the class cohorts, as well as with individual students, to provide assistance in all aspects of future education and careers planning. This ranges from identifying strengths in both academic subjects and co-curricular activities, in order to help the student in his or her institution and course selection, to providing up-to-date information about international admission processes, deadlines and current events like regional educational fairs.
