Chantilly Academy is home to a fantastic two-year Pharmacy Technician program. In addition to learning the history of pharmacy and the roles of a Pharmacy Technician, students in this course learn about patient and medication safety, pharmaceutical calculations, prescription processing, suspension and solution preparation, and compounding to name just a few topics. In year two of the Pharmacy Tech program, students complete an impressive 130 experiential hours in a local pharmacy thanks to our partnerships with Giant Food and Inova. Upon completion of their second year, students sit for the National Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam and leave Chantilly Academy as a Board Certified Pharmacy Technician. Last year, our students had a 100% pass rate on their board exam!
Pharmacy Tech instructor, Mr. Rick Cutting, finds innovative ways to engage students in learning in the classroom. Recently, level one students were introduced to the concept of compounding by making slime! Students quickly learned how important it is to accurately weigh and measure ingredients when making a compounded prescription. It was a fun - and sometimes sticky! - learning adventure.
 Level 2 PT/OT students began clinical observations at VSI Physical Therapy this week. Clinical observations present students with a unique and invaluable opportunity to see concepts they learn in the classroom in practice in the real world.
 Carpentry students are putting the finishing touches on their custom built stools this week. Next up: stain and finishing!
 A new project just rolled into the Chantilly Academy Auto Body Shop! Stay tuned for updates as this 1976 Corvette Stingray gets a makeover.
 Auto Tech and Auto Collision Level 2 and 3 students took a field trip to visit Porsche, Mercedes Benz, and Audi of Chantilly. During the field trip, they visited the shops and showrooms at all three locations to see how they operate - and check out some sweet rides! Justin Mullinax, Service Director at Audi, is a proud Chantilly Academy Auto Tech alum and took time spoke to students about career opportunities and pathways in the automotive industry.
