Secondary Offerings
At Stafford Schools, we believe in empowering students by offering engaging secondary specialty programs that cater to their unique learning styles, preferences, and aspirations. Our secondary specialty programs, tailored to individual needs, provide a diverse range of opportunities for rising high school students to explore and excel in their chosen fields.
Students have the chance to select from three types of secondary offerings, each designed to align with their interests and future goals:
-
Stafford Specialty Centers: These centers, nestled within our high schools, offer immersive experiences tailored to specific career fields, providing a community of like-minded peers, specialized coursework, and pathways leading to immediate entry into the workforce or further education. Students entering 9th grade may apply to these four-year programs.
-
Stafford Secondary Program Pathways: These programs offer advanced coursework designed to deepen students' knowledge and skills in specific fields or careers. Available in one, two or four-year durations, these pathways empower students to delve deeper into their chosen areas of study.
- Regional School Programs: Our regional school offerings - the Academy of Technology and Innovation at the University of Mary Washington (ATI-UMW) and the Commonwealth Governor’s School (CGS) - provide specialized coursework and unique experiences, presenting students with exciting opportunities for growth and exploration.
At Stafford Schools, we're committed to fostering a learning environment that supports students in discovering their passions, preparing them for future success, and helping them thrive in their chosen pathways.
