Enhancing STEM Education through Supportive Learning Environments and Co-Location Strategies

The APS Academics and Careers Center is dedicated to fostering small learning communities that nurture success for all students. Our guiding principles emphasize comprehensive support beyond academics, including social-emotional counseling and individualized programs. We aim to expand high school and post-secondary education opportunities and provide flexible scheduling and acceleration paths in STEM fields. By co-locating career and technical education with academic programs, we ensure that students have direct access to advanced studies and innovative learning opportunities, preparing them for successful futures.

  2. EDT Guiding Principles The APS Academics and Careers Center (ACC) will: • Provide small learning communities that lead to a nurturing, supportive environment for learning • Commit totally to success for all its students • Ensure support beyond academics for all its students • Provide flexibility in scheduling • Provide supportive social/emotional developmental and academic counseling • Provide individualized programs • Provide for emerging technologies in academic, career, and technical fields • Provide acceleration opportunities for students

  3. EDT Guiding Principles In support of these guiding principles, the educational program of the Center will: • Maintain the missions and character of the existing programs while enhancing the synergies between them • Expand high school opportunities to explore and develop career fields • Integrate opportunities to acquire post-secondary education and/or training while still in high school • Provide alternative options to complete a high school education while enhancing life-long learning opportunities • Afford opportunities for structured post-secondary experiences for all its students • Provide adaptability to accommodate future trends

  4. Reasons for Co-Location • Need for critical mass of students to provide advanced studies diploma options • Provide opportunities for acceleration as they exist now and as others have expressed a desire for • Provide direct access to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) classes using existing Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses as the basis for STEM • Provide more options to students through access to community college and four-year university programs on site

  5. Reasons for Co-Location • Continue to support and sustain small learning community program setting, structure, and atmosphere • Continue Arlington Public Schools position at the forefront of educational innovation and opportunity for all, not just a select few
