CAMPUS

CAMPUS is an academic and college preparation program designed to meet the specific needs of students from historically underrepresented populations in higher education and prospective first-generation college students attending Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS).

An LCPS guidance initiative, CAMPUS began in the spring of 2002. The program now serves over 500 selected students in grades 9-12. 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 CAMPUS activities throughout the year.

Parents are also an integral part of CAMPUS and its success. Parents are encouraged to participate in CAMPUS initiatives and to support their children in the college search and application process. Admission to and graduation from college are among the goals of the CAMPUS Program.
