Distinctive Features
1. They no longer display the openness of children

2. Nor do they possess the maturity of adulthood.

3. They face changes in almost every facet of their life – physical, emotional, social, mental, for example-

a) School
In their school life as they move into secondary school education, young teens need to wrestle with not just the academic changes but also social change.

b) Social Dimension
New friendships must be forged again.

Key Foci of ISS
At ISS, we seek to help our teens to face these changes and be there for them as well as to help them to relate to God in every aspect of their life.

1. To impart Biblical values and principles to our students.

2. We also seek to strengthen and deepen the Bible Knowledge of our students.

3. The curriculum covers Bible books and topics that are relevant to the students.

4. ‘Knowledge Converter’ is another focus of ISS.
The Bible knowledge they gained during their earlier years in JSS will be applied into practical life lessons. We teach our teens to learn to pray over each decision they have to make and to learn to trust God about their life and future.

ISS Teachers
1. Teachers at ISS are always seeking to build a strong bond with our students through interaction during & after class time. Activities like class outings also help bring the class closer together.

2. Classes
These are conducted in small groups of 5 to 6 students, so that teachers can get to know their students personally and to mentor and groom each student.

3. A special concern for souls
At ISS, we seek to inculcate a burden for those who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
4. Concern for Missions
We also want our students to put their faith into action through their support of outreach and missions. One example is the ISS’ financial support of a project in Berakah IPC.

Perhaps we can do other similar projects. Through these provisions, our Indian brethren will be able to minister to all villagers including non-believers. Through this ministry, we hope to cultivate a greater missions awareness on the part of our students.
