Together, the programs offer a variety of services that include:

• Assistance with the college application process
• Field trips to college campuses
• Goal setting and career exploration
• Monitoring of academic performance
• Tutoring and mentoring
• Build school, family, and community partnership

The three core programs of CSP are:

School Psychology Services

School Social Work Services

• School Social Workers are assigned to support every school in FCPS and work with families, students, teachers, and administrators to promote student academic achievement and mental wellness. Students are referred to school social workers for a variety of reasons, including social, emotional, or behavioral difficulties; family needs; or assessments related to special education. School social workers seek to ensure equitable educational opportunities; ensure that students are mentally, physically, and emotionally present in the classroom; and promote respect and dignity for all students. School social workers provide multi-tiered prevention and intervention services to students and their families to include individual, group, and family counseling. They also provide professional development to school staff to support trauma-informed classrooms and school communities.

Fairfax County Adult High School

• Fairfax County Adult High School offers two pathways to completion including a VDOE approved diploma or the GED program for adult self-enrolled learners age 18 and older.  Currently we offer day and evening programming at five locations.  Last year, FCAHS programming served 850 students with an active enrollment of 396 learners on June 11th.  During SY22-23, 59 learners earned a high school diploma and 49 learners were passers of all four parts of the GED.  Our focus for this school year is to increase the number of students earning verified credit, increase GED passers, and reduce the chronic absenteeism rate by 5%.  We will do that by continuing to implement our station rotation model, increasing reading and writing, and improving communication and collaboration with evening staff members. Additionally, our new instructional initiatives this year will include an increased focus on student talk, course checklists, and test prep.
