Data Science, Computing and Applications College Partnership Laboratory School
Data Science, Computing and Applications College Partnership Laboratory School
The GMU-DSCA lab-school will employ a hub and spoke model that will be led by GMU working with VDOE and Frederick County Public Schools as the Hub where the Physical Lab School will be located along with lab-school opportunities provided through the GMU SMSC and LRCC for students, teachers and parents from all partnering divisions, serving as the spokes.
Our mission is to create innovative pathways designed to help students and teachers from rural and rural fringe school divisions add Data Science, Computing and Applications expertise to their skill set and make informed data-driven decisions to contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Our vision is to create a data-literate next generation workforce empowered with the skills, knowledge, and mindset necessary to thrive and solve problems in a data-driven world to bring about positive change.
The Shenandoah Valley Rural Regional College Partnership Laboratory School for Data Science, Computing and Applications is a collaborative project led by George Mason University with Frederick County Public Schools as lead K-12, in partnership with six partnering rural and rural-fringe school districts in the Shenandoah Valley including Clarke County, Fauquier County, Page County, Shenandoah County, Warren County, Winchester Public Schools as well as Governor's School at Mountain Vista, GMU Smithsonian Mason School of Conservation and Laurel Ridge Community College.Â
