About Leap academy 

LEAP Academy is a non-traditional setting in which students are able to work at an accelerated pace. All students must meet the same ​academic​, ​STAAR​, and ​community service​ requirements as other secondary school students. It is important to note that all students who complete their senior year through LEAP Academy will receive their high school diploma through MISD, but ​will not walk at the traditional graduation ceremony. They will be given an ​alternate ceremony​ at the end of the semester they complete the graduation requirements. Furthermore, students who are accepted into LEAP Academy do so with the understanding that it will be for the duration of their coursework; there will be no returning to the home campus unless administration determines extenuating circumstances.
