STEM ACADEMY PROGRAMS

Fauquier County Public Schools is proud to host 3 unique academies to prepare students for STEM careers through hands-on experiences, cross-curricular studies, industry certifications, and extracurricular opportunities.  Academy students may receive medals, certificates, and/or diploma seals at graduation if all requirements are completed. 

Beginning with the 2021-2022 school year, transportation will be available for students to travel to their Academy if it is located at a different high school.

Any rising 9th or 10th grader with an interest in these areas may apply to attend one of these programs*

* Due to COVID-19, current 9th graders are able to apply for Academies for the 2021-2022 school year. However, this is the last year students other than rising 9th graders may apply.

Our Academies:

• The Cyber Security Academy at Liberty High School
• The Environmental Studies Academy at Fauquier High School
• The iSTEM Academy at Kettle Run High School

Academy Structure:

• Each academy has a unique set of required and recommended courses and activities for students to complete before graduation.
• Students who do not attend the high school where their academy is located will be half day travel students – much like our students who currently travel to other schools for JROTC and CTE programs. These students may take courses outside the academy at their travel schools. In a given year, they may travel during one or both terms depending on their schedule and courses.
• Each academy has a director who oversees the students, curriculum, and opportunities for that academy.
