Fairfax County Public Schools Advanced Academic Programs have a continuum of services to develop the diverse talents and interests of our students.

My @fcpsaap students @WolftrapES worked in groups to translate their Caesar’s English Sesquipedalian Story so that their kindergarten buddies would be able to understand it at story time. 📕 😄 💻

Executive function remains one of the most reliable predictors of success in academics—and in life. Here's the research on what it is, and how to cultivate it. ✈️

“The key is collaboration among gifted, special education, and counseling professionals to develop an individualized, strength-based program that considers the whole child.”

Young Scholars enjoyed our outdoor classroom spaces while they review systems and create their own inputs/outputs of change. Kiss your Brains! @fcpsaap #ysinfcps @CamelotFCPS @FCPSR2

Young Scholars are making connections between pollution & ocean systems through our food chains game! They also created their own impact of change for better outputs! Thanks @pstoner2224 for the idea!! @fcpsaap #ysinfcps

So excited for the teachers who attended @JASONLearning to come back and share all the great STEAM learning available to FCPS students! Ask your AART about how your FCPS student can get access to Jason Learning through their Schoology acct!

Joythusiasm in science teaching for the win!!!

We just heard from Vernon Green Jr. on Understanding Your Why. He was awarded the Innovation Pathways grant bringing learning on cyber security to students by partnering with @JASONLearning . It no longer matters where you live- you have access #JNC2023

Late posting, but the Advanced Placement Summer Institute for our HS AP teachers last week got top notch kudos from consultants who do APSI’s across the country! TY Dr Small for all you do to make it organized, engaging, and rigorous for FCPS (and beyond) AP teachers!! @fcpsaap

Summer learning teachers get ready for the #youngscholars - Central office staff juggling multiple trainings using tech and hybrid workshopping to get ready for a great summer!! @fcpsaap

The 2023 AP Calculus AB scores: 5: 22%; 4: 16%; 3: 20%; 2: 22%; 1: 20%. This is a hefty increase over last year, rivaling pre-pandemic performance; exciting to see this strong recovery, given the pandemic’s impact on math sequences/proficiency.

[FCPS AAP @fcpsaap]

FCPS APSI day 2!! Great energy connecting with colleagues.

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

The 2023 AP Statistics scores: 5: 15%; 4: 22%; 3: 23%; 2: 16%; 1: 24%. Great work: these are higher than the pre-pandemic scores of 2019, let alone last year, and educators invited 10% more students into the AP Stats classroom this year than last.
