School Overview
The Alternative Education Center, located on Catlett Road in Midland, Virginia, is an educational facility operated under the administration of Fauquier County Public Schools. It serves as a specialized environment designed to support students who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. By providing a smaller, more structured, and highly focused academic atmosphere, the center aims to help students overcome barriers to learning, regain academic credits, and maintain progress toward graduation.

The center emphasizes personalized instruction and student-centered support, often catering to those in need of credit recovery, behavioral intervention, or a more flexible path to earning a high school diploma. Through its targeted programming, the Alternative Education Center plays a critical role in the district’s efforts to promote student retention and ensure that every learner, regardless of their specific challenges, has access to the resources and guidance necessary to successfully complete their secondary education.
