The Montgomery College Institute is an innovative partnership between Montgomery College, Gaithersburg High School and Wootton High School.   The College Institute provides an opportunity for identified high-achieving seniors to earn college credits on a high school campus during the regular school day.  The Montgomery College courses enhance and supplement the high school's current advanced placement courses.  During their first semester in the College Institute, students will be concurrently enrolled in DS 107, College Survival.  College Survival is a one-credit course that deals with important academic and social issues involved in the transition to college, and meets one period per week. All other courses are three-credit courses that meet either two or three times per week.  (Exception:  New Course:  Calculus II.  Meets three times per week.  Four Credits)
