Campus

CAMPUS is an academic and college preparation program designed to meet the specific needs of students from historically underrepresented groups in higher education and prospective first-generation college students in Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS). The program now serves over 460 selected students in grades 9-12 across all LCPS High Schools. CAMPUS seeks to provide support and encouragement to students who demonstrate the ability to achieve academic success and college admission. Students must commit to attending mandatory CAMPUS meetings and/or classes during the school day and to attending CAMPUS activities throughout the year. Parents are also an integral part of CAMPUS and its success. Parents are expected to participate in CAMPUS initiatives and support their children in the college search and application process. Admission to, and graduation from, college are among the goals of the CAMPUS Program.

CAMPUS supports students through:

  • Academic enrichment and support

  • Self-advocacy skills development

  • College and university visits

  • College and scholarship preparation

  • Careful course selection

  • Community service projects and activities

What is a GAP Year?

It is an opportunity for a high school graduate to gain a great deal of responsibility and independence before going off to college. A student may opt to spend the year volunteering, traveling, taking advanced academic courses, learning a language or specific trade, doing an internship, and more. 

"A semester or year of experiential learning, typically taken after high school and prior to career or post-secondary education, in order to deepen one's practical, professional, and personal awareness."
