Refugee Student Impact Program

FCPS supports refugee students as they adapt to a new educational system and culture. We aim to provide them with the resources and guidance they need in order to thrive in school and build a sense of belonging in their community.

Our school district fosters an inclusive environment, welcoming students from all backgrounds and experiences, and ensuring they feel valued and supported every step of the way.

Through tutoring, summer camps, advocacy, grade monitoring, and field trips, we are dedicated to enhancing academic achievement, promoting successful integration, and ensuring equitable access to education.
