Arlington Tech is a rigorous project-based learning program that prepares students to succeed in college and in the workplace through collaborative problem solving. Students learn how to effectively combine their interdisciplinary core academic knowledge with their developed skills in Career Technical Education (CTE) to solve real-world problems and provide services to the local community.
Arlington Tech provides the opportunity for students to explore and become certified in a variety of CTE programs and to get a jump start on college by earning Early College Credits through dual enrollment with Northern Virginia Community College. As a culmination of the project-based learning experience, Arlington Tech students will complete a year-long senior capstone project in which they would be employed as an intern, a consultant, or act as an independent researcher. Learning at Arlington Tech is active (through inquiry), authentic (through projects), and motivated by the students’ interests.

This block offering combines Algebra I and Geometry into a one-year course that culminates with the student taking the Algebra I SOL for a verified graduation credit and will also earn 2 standard credits to graduate.
