Register for ISR
Interested in joining the ISR program?
Students who wish to participate in the ISR programs at Stratford, Overton, or Hillsboro should complete the registration form in Spring 2024. Registration forms are accepted for rising 9th and 10th grade students. Students who have applied to the School for Science and Math (SSMV) do not need to complete a separate ISR registration form. We continue to accept registration forms on a space available basis.
If you have any questions about the ISR program or the registration process, please contact the teacher at the school (listed below) or email vandyisr@vanderbilt.edu.

For students attending Hillsboro High School, the ISR program counts as pathway courses for students in the Academy of Global Health and Science, but can also be taken as electives by students in other Hillsboro Academies. Students have successfully participated in both ISR and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program at Hillsboro.
