The Chantilly Academy is an
environment which gives students an opportunity to obtain
experiential learning and real-world knowledge in their classrooms
as well as in their communities. The Academy is located at Chantilly
High School in Fairfax County, Virginia.
The Chantilly Academy
provides specialized courses in engineering, scientific technology,

“This Spring, your
invaluable support and in-kind donation enabled our Computer Systems
Technology students to acquire the computer parts needed to complete
building on twenty-five PCs for our Chantilly High School Spanish
students to bring to Paraguay for their volunteer work this week
with the Peace Corps,” said Douglas Wright, Administrator of the
Chantilly Academy.
The Academy has several business
partners who allow the guarantee that the students have a variety of
resources within their reach. They provide students with
opportunities in shadowing, mentoring, and interning with local
businesses. This program helps students develop their skills,
establish career goals, and recognize their needs to attend schools
of higher learning or enter the field of employment.
