Our iSchool High and Quest Collegiate Academy campuses are known for their academic excellence, unique mastery-based curriculum, and now blossoming athletic opportunities for students in the Montgomery County area.
Starting the 2023-24 school year, iSchool High – The Woodlands’ partnership with Lone Star College allows high school students to immerse themselves in college-level clubs and sports teams. Among these students is iSchool High – The Woodlands freshman Rebecca Pedersen. At only 15 years old, Rebecca is enrolled in two college courses at Lone Star College, paving her way to graduate high school with an associate’s degree.
