The Loudoun Academy of Science is a a part time alternative school program for high school students enrolled in Loudoun County Public Schools. Currently, the program is located at the campus of Dominion High School at 21326 Augusta Drive in Sterling, an area in unincorporated Loudoun County, Virginia, United States.

[edit] History and structure

The Academy was established in 2005 as a magnet program of science and technology for Loudoun County students. The purpose of the Academy is to help allow gifted students in science and technology to take advanced math and science courses at the academy, which include Advanced Placement courses, as well as classes completely devoted to scientific research. Science classes in the 9th and 10th grades integrate physical components of earth science, physics, and chemistry in preparation for AP level sciences in the 11th and 12th grades. The math curriculum integrates statistics and modeling in all of its courses, which range from Algebra to Multivariable Calculus.

The Academy of Science will move into its own building, planned to open in Ashburn for the 2010-2011 school year.[citation needed]

[edit] Admissions

The admissions process is very competitive for 8th graders who wish to attend the Academy, based primarily on students' academic performance (grades) in middle school, as well as teacher recommendations.

[edit] Extra curricular activities and athletics

All students who attend the Academy go to classes located at Dominion High School every other school day where they take courses in math, science, and research. On other days, Academy students attend their home school, where they take courses in English, Social Studies, and other electives. The ten Loudoun County High Schools coordinate their schedules to allow Academy students to take extra curricular classes, including music, physical education, etc. at the home school. Students who attend the Loudoun Academy of Science are not considered to be students solely at the Academy, nor are they considered to be Dominion students, unless an Academy student lives in the Dominion HS attendance zone; they are still considered students at their home schools, based on their residences.

Academy students who are on athletic teams play for their home schools and their respective conferences.
