We welcomed our new Seahawks to Silverbrook today during our Kindergarten Orientation! Students had time to visit a classroom to hear a story and engage in activities. They also had time to ride the bus and take pictures. Do you like our matching Seahawk snap bracelets?

Advanced Academic Programs (AAP) Elementary Continuum of Services

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is committed to challenging all students through talent development and differentiated instruction. A continuum of advanced academic services is offered for students in Grades K-12. This model is designed to match services to unique student needs, moving away from a focus on student labels.

Through the continuum, students benefit from:

  • Multiple entry points for deeper learning opportunities in specific areas of need as they develop.
  • A cluster group of students with similar academic needs to foster intellectual growth.

Teachers, Advanced Academic Resource Teachers (AARTs), and school administrators work together to provide services at the elementary level.

For more detailed information, including important dates, please see the Spring AAP Newsletter:
