College Academy
The College Academy program is for students interested in fulfilling their high school graduation requirements while simultaneously completing an Associate degree. Students may take a combination of Dual Credit and Advanced Placement courses offered by Cypress Fairbanks ISD. These courses are in partnership with Lone Star College-CyFair and College Board, which focus on preparing students with the skills and knowledge to complete a 2-year degree or apply coursework to a 4-year college or university.
Students must apply during the Spring semester of their 8th grade year and, once accepted, start the program in 9th grade.
Students who are not enrolled in the College Academy program may still pursue the Associate Degree by speaking with Dual Credit Counselor, LaKeisha Frank (lakeisha.frank@cfisd.net).
