Riggs expressed that because it is located on the college campus, iSchool students are thus granted the same opportunities as any traditional LSC-Montgomery student. “Being embedded on the campus, the kids gain the incredible opportunity to start college as early as their freshman year.” “There is a true partnership between iSchool High and LSC-Montgomery,” said Robert Riggs, campus director of iSchool High at Montgomery-The Woodlands. The school, which is conveniently nested on the campus of LSC-Montgomery, reduces the time and cost of obtaining a college degree, prepares students for college, reduces the need for remedial coursework, facilitates the transition between high school and college, and offers all the same college amenities allotted to the traditional college student. ISchool High blends high school and college into one educational experience, allowing students the opportunity to earn their high school diploma, and up to two years of college credit, in four years – completely free. Not only is Maes receiving an enhanced high school and college education simultaneously, but she is also a prodigy in the LSC-Montgomery Honors College and plays appassionato in the college’s symphonic band. Thanks to this invaluable partnership, Maes, an iSchool High junior, will have 32 college hours at the end of the spring 2015 semester, and the aspiring hopes of transferring to the University of Texas. She is a whiz kid, a rising star in education, and one of many exceptional students reaping the benefits of the unique partnership between the cutting-edge iSchool High at Montgomery-The Woodlands, a tuition-free public charter school, and Lone Star College-Montgomery.
CONROE, TX (December 16, 2014) – At first glance Erin Maes might appear to be a typical high school student, barreling down the hall to music class with her bulky tuba case dragging beside her.
