Welcome to Hollin Meadows Science and Math Focus School. With over 40 years of excellence in education, our priority remains unchanged – ensuring every child receives the best education possible in a respectful, safe, and nurturing learning environment. By combining the right resources with the best instructional strategies and effective management approaches we continue to meet the needs of our students at the highest levels.

Sending a child to school is a big life event and parents have many questions. What type of place is Hollin Meadows? How will my child fit in? Will my child get the best education possible? To answer those questions and many more, I encourage you to talk with parents who send their children to our school. Browse our web site. Schedule an appointment to visit with me or another administrator and see our classrooms in action. As you learn more about our school, I’m confident you will discover and come to understand why we are considered one of the finest schools in Fairfax County.

Once again, thank you for your interest in Hollin Meadows Science and Math Focus School. If I can ever be of assistance, please contact me at 703-718-8300 or jon.gates@fcps.edu.

Best Regards,
