About CARE Academy

Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District and Lone Star College-CyFair have a unique partnership benefiting high school seniors by offering college prep classes in English and Math. This partnership program is called the College Awareness Readiness and Education (CARE) Academy. English IV on-level, K-level, Advanced Algebra, and College Algebra classes taught in CyFair ISD were aligned by both ISD and college faculty with college readiness standards to help students achieve their best start in college.

Students in the CARE Academy may be eligible to enroll directly into freshman college-level Math and/or English courses (Math 1314, ENGL 1301, HIST 1301, etc.) without having to take a college placement test if the following conditions have been met:

• Earn a 75 or higher in English IV on-level, K-level, and/or Advanced Algebra or College Algebra in the second semester
• Complete an LSC-CyFair application 
• Provide an official high school transcript to Lone Star College upon high school graduation
• Enroll in college credit Math and/or English after graduation*

CARE Academy advisors are available to assist in making the process easier for students to transition into college. Feel free to contact us at CyFairCare@lonestar.edu for questions. We thank you for choosing LSC-CyFair!

*Students must enroll in the appropriate course within 24 months of their graduation date.
