For the past four years, Falls Church Academy's Medical Assistant students have been trained in vision and hearing screening and give their time to screen students and support Public Health Nurses and School Health Clinic Aide's in this mission. Medical Assistant students gain patient contacts, communication skills, screening and charting experience and truly enjoy the opportunity to support and work with people of varying ages.

If students choose to drive to Falls Church Academy for class from their base school, parking passes are in very limited supply and are given on a first come/first serve basis. Students who do drive will need to park at Providence Recreation Center and walk to the high school. The Application for Use of Private Automobile will need to be completed and returned to Ms. Fields in Room 237 before parking can be approved.
