ISM Showcase at the Academy
The Independent Study Mentorship is built for juniors and seniors.  It is built around the Texas performance standards for gifted students, however it is open to anyone that chooses to apply.  Once they are approved, students study for an entire year something they have a passion or interest in.  And the great thing is that they get to work with a mentor along the way.
