What is ISM?
Independent Study and Mentorship is a program offered by the Frisco Independent School District to academically advanced students.
In ISM, the student learns to manage their own workflow, explore their own interests, and acquires the skills of Communication; Confidence; Professionalism; Organization; Analysis, Synthesis, and Creativity; and Public Speaking in order to prepare students for their future professions.
Students interested in taking ISM must complete the application and interview process to be considered for the course. Once selected, students conduct research and interviews throughout the year on their chosen topic of study in order to select a mentor and gain real-world experience.
