Advanced Academic Programs (AAP)

Continuum of Advanced Academic Services in FCPS

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) offers a continuum of advanced academic services for students K-12 that builds upon students' individual strengths and skills and maximizes the academic potential for all learners.  Learning experiences are designed to develop higher-level thinking through enrichment, acceleration, and extension of the Program of Studies (POS). Teachers, administrators, and Advanced Academic Resource Teachers (AARTs) work together to provide four levels of services. Additional information can be found at FCPS AAP.

Our Bucknell AART collaborates with the school staff to determine the appropriate level of advanced academic services.  Parents may refer their child for advanced academic services or get additional information on the screening process or advanced academic opportunities at Bucknell ES by contacting our school's AART. Ongoing observation and assessment ensure that student needs are being met.
