Secondary Specialty Programs are application-based and specialty-type program opportunities available to high school students in Stafford County Public Schools. The programs vary in nature and scope as they relate to the academic and career quests of the student. Each high school in the county provides opportunities for their students to select challenging and interesting programs at their respective schools to meet their unique and individually diverse learning needs, styles, and preferences.

SCPS is committed to providing academic opportunities that are consistent with the research findings on how students learn. When a student applies for SCPS Specialty Programs, we hope their goal is to commit to a program that strives to do the following: engage students in inquiry; provide opportunities for students to experiment and analyze information critically; encourage students to make conjectures and debate their validity; and enable students to solve problems both individually and collaboratively. We are dedicated to preparing and producing All Century Learners today for all of our tomorrows.
