Academies
Fort Bend ISD High School Academies exist to provide specialized learning communities with concentrated and robust course pathways comprised of career and academic classes.
These specialized academies exist at the high school level to provide focused study and services, launching our students toward
careers and college pathways in a number of highly skilled and competitive areas.
All of these programs are offered through an application process, which includes a combination of academic performance data,
test scores and interviews.
Students apply for high school academies as 8th graders. The application window for the 2016-2017 school year is November 1, 2015 - November 30, 2015. Students must reside in the FBISD attendance zone in order to apply. Students may not apply and will not be accepted outside of this process. In order to properly staff our programs, create schedules, and train staff we must limit the application period for all specialized programs. There are no exceptions to this policy.

Duke TIP
The Duke Talent Identification Program is a non-profit educational organization that identifies academically talented seventh graders based on standardized test scores achieved while attending elementary or middle school. Candidates are invited to take the ACT or the SAT college entrance exam as seventh graders, which allows them greater insight into their academic abilities.
Fort Bend ISD sponsors a Duke TIP preparation class for students identified as candidates for the program. Information brochures will be given to students qualifying for the talent search by the student's counselor.
Information regarding the Duke TIP program can be found at http://www.tip.duke.edu/.
