We think everyone should have the opportunity to create something that can change the world. So we’ve introduced a new course which is Introduction to Programming through  Game Design which is recommended for anyone considering studying engineering or computer science in college.Through the designing of video games, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of computer programming. In programming the games, students will cover core-programming topics such as classes, objects, methods, variables, decision statements and control structures. Students will design and program their own animated, interactive game as the final programming project.

The schedule is created after students’ choices and interests. Accordingly, courses change is highly discouraged after course selections. One week change period is applicable to any new classes after starting the academic year. Student-initiated requests for course changes take place within the first week of the scheduled course. Attendance in the students’ original class is required until the change has been confirmed by the school administration. Consultation with the student must occur before allowing student to change their schedule. Student is responsible to finish and complete any work missed in their new course. The teacher may recommend that a student be changed to another course if the student does not meet the minimum course expectations.
Below the steps that need to be followed when requesting a course change after the initial one-week period:
1. Student obtains petition form from counselor for the course change.
2. Parent, current teacher, or receiving teacher recommends the change.
3. Counselor makes a recommendation.
4. A final decision will be made by the Guidance Committee, taking all recommendations into account.
The Guidance Committee consists of the (Director, Deputy Director, Academic Advisor, High School Principals and Guidance Counselor)

Pre-requisites are required for some courses. Pre-requisites are listed in course descriptions, and students should be aware of them when making course selections. Students are required to read the description of each course selected in order to avoid changing courses.

Regular attendance and punctuality are emphasized at INPS-AD. Because performance in class through collaborative activities is an essential element of student learning and assessment, students must be present and absent must be minimized. To receive course credit, students may not accumulate more than unexcused 6 classes per course per semester. Students exceeding this absence limit will receive the grade on their final transcript but will not be granted credit. Four tardiness are equal to one unexcused absence.
