TJHSST admissions require students to demonstrate STEM aptitude, critical thinking, and leadership through the Student Portrait Sheet (SPS). This camp helps students develop high-quality, well-structured responses that highlight their academic strengths, curiosity, and problem-solving mindset.
This curriculum is designed to empower students with the skills and confidence to create compelling, authentic responses to the TJHSST Student Portrait Sheet. Through instructional sessions, hands-on writing and revision activities, and supportive feedback mechanisms, students will be well-prepared to present themselves effectively in their TJHSST applications.
