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.

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.
Attendance: Good attendance is paramount to your success at Falls Church Academy. Our courses are performance-based so it’s absolutely critical you are here to participate. When reporting absences, parents must contact both their child’s base school and Academy attendance offices. The Academy Attendance number is 703.207.4011
