Arlington Science Focus School (ASFS) is a public elementary school located in Arlington, VA, just a stone's throw from Washington, DC. The ASFS curriculum is designed to develop an extensive understanding of science content and process through inquiry-based learning. Students embark on exciting adventures each day where science content is used as the catalyst to teach all subject areas by using natural inquiry to develop students' thinking skills for analyzing, reflecting, problem-solving, and hypothesizing. Students participate in hands-on, activities dealing with ecology, biology, geology, zoology, physics, astronomy, and chemistry that are directly correlated to the Virginia Standards of Learning.
With an exceedingly high demand for young professionals with science and technology backgrounds, this project aims to create the ultimate science classroom environment complete with state-of-the-art technology, eco-friendly building materials, and nature-inspired aesthetics designed to provoke, cultivate, and foster life-long student interest in science.
All contributions will go directly to the renovation and refurbishment of the existing science lab. New state-of-the-art equipment and materials will help engage young children's interest and love for the sciences.
To honor my daughter, Stephanie Lin, the science teacher, and to inspire the kids she teaches.
In memory of Kedron Simon
On behalf of Yuvika Prasad and Nicholas Jones, Ellie Holmes gives this contribution to the Arlington Science Focus Investigation Station Project.
To honor our dear friend, Kedron Simon, who continues to inspire our family and hundreds of others in Arlington and beyond.
Both of my children attend ASFS and they're excited about having a remodeled classroom.
With gratitude for the amazing experiences we've had at ASFS & hope for an even brighter future for all our students.
