Individual plans of study (IPS) are intended to help all Kansas students obtain a suitable vision of their path toward college and career readiness. As students navigate through high school and into career and college, it is imperative that students set educational goals and create a roadmap for success in high school and beyond. This roadmap, or individual plan of study, includes development of a flexible career focus and an education plan that is clearly-defined, rigorous, and relevant to assure a successful and efficient transition to postsecondary education and/or the workforce. All students at CJSHS will create their own personal IPS and plan for post secondary success.
