Parking and Transportation

Picture of cars

Due to construction at Falls Church High School, parking is extremely limited this academic year.  Students are greatly encouraged to take the provided shuttles to and from their base school.  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.   Falls Church Academy Student Parking Rules, Guidance, Fines and Penalties will apply.
