As a reminder, winter break will be held Monday, December 22, to Friday, January 2. To help make sure you and your children have a restful break, we have asked that no homework be assigned during this time. Teachers may assign long-range assignments in the weeks ahead of the break, allowing students to practice time management skills, but no assignments will be due immediately following the break. We look forward to welcoming students back in the new year.
Classes resume on Monday, January 5, 2026. See the complete school year calendar.
Did you know that Chantilly Academy is home to one of only two Auto Collision programs in FCPS? Auto Collision gives students a hands-on introduction to the world of automotive body repair work. Students work in a professional shop environment where they learn to assess vehicle damage, bumper and fender restoration, welding fundamentals for structural repairs, and using body filler and sanding for surface preparation. They gain experience in our full size drive-in paint booth, where they practice priming and painting with a spray gun. Students even have the capability to mix paint to precisely match a vehicle’s original color.
In addition to body work, students work on client services vehicles to gain experience with a variety of skills including headlight cleaning and restoration, minor cosmetic repair, detailing, and door handle repair or replacement to name a few. With an emphasis on high quality craftsmanship, safety, and career-ready skills, the program prepares students to graduate ready to step into the auto collision industry.
