Home Visits
With our diverse student body, home visits are paramount in bridging cultural gaps that might exist. These visits also provide opportunities for staff to understand their students better by visiting them in their home environments. The goal is to foster a true partnership – with both students and their families.
Staff Spotlight – Mr. Murat!
Home visits aren't anything new for Mr. Murat, college counselor at Frontier School of Excellence. Well into his 10th year of doing home visits at Frontier Schools, Mr. Murat has visited more than 70 students in their homes – this school year alone!
Mr. Murat is a proud advocate for home visits and continues to encourage and inspire other staff members to go on as many as they can. He believes that home visits allow for a deeper understanding of a student, their home and family environment, and their behavior.
As a dedicated educator, Mr. Murat knows that home visits help students' in more ways than one. Mr. Murat said that many times he sees improvement – both in academics and behavior. He said that student feels more confident and accountable knowing they have a teacher who has a genuine interest in their academics and future success.
"In my humble opinion, it's an unbelievable feeling. TEXAS proverb says; Every long trip starts with a little step. So, home visits are one of those many little steps in my journey as an educator. Please try it!"

FSHS State Of The Art Innovation Lab!
Frontier Schools’ is planning to build a modern, state-of-the-art Innovation Lab attached to the Frontier STEM High School.
This project-based approach is an essential part of immersive STEM education; it makes the experience real for the students. They will be able to conceive a project, be it a product or prototype, and follow the production process from conception to physical
reality. Students will understand the technology that powers their creations; both the
hardware and the software. The goal is to build a strong, authentic knowledge-based theory to applied skills in STEM education, ensuring Frontier’s high school graduates will
be prepared to enter collegiate level science, technology, engineering and mathematics
programs with the skills to succeed on day one.
You can help now by giving to our campaign! To donate, click here!
Note: All donations are tax-deductible and a donation receipt will be provided.
