The students work independently through their units and complete a test for each unit. Each course is compiled of ten Unit tests. The credit earned at our school is comparable to a credit earned at any other public school.

iSchool High is an officially designated Early College High School through the Texas Education Agency. Thus, our students have the opportunity to earn an Associates of Arts Degree through Lone Star College and their high school diploma within a four year time frame.
