Parking & Transportation at the Academy

Parking / Transportation:    Due to the ongoing renovative at Falls Church High School all Academy students are strongly encouraged to take the free shuttle bus to and from your high school if shuttles are available.  Drop-offs and pick-ups will be at Door #4. Shuttle schedules will be posted on our Academy website according to AM, Mid-Day 1, and Mid-Day 2 classes.   Student drivers must have an Academy hang tag displayed from their rear view mirror.  If you have a base school tag, there is no charge.  If you do not have a base school tag, your parking fee is $67.00.  Academy parking is located at the Providence Rec Center and student drivers will enter the building through Door #11. Parking is limited and will be prioritized for students without shuttles. For students taking classes at the Plum Center, parking is available in the Plum Center parking lot.

Cell Phone Policy at Falls Church HS Academy

Falls Church High School has been selected as one of the schools to pilot the new phone-free initiative, beginning September 3.  This includes all students attending Falls Church Academy classes as well.  Even if the student's base school is not included in this pilot, all Academy students will adhere to this same policy when in Academy classes.  Students will need to store cell phones in central storage units in each classroom.  Airpods must be secured in the storage unit or placed in backpacks. Smartwatches must be off or on airplane mode.  More information will be shared in class.
