Principal's Message Green Acres Elementary School is one of four elementary schools located in the City of Fairfax. Built in 1961, the school enjoys the support of both Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax. Green Acres provides a safe, supportive environment for students in which individual needs are met and differences are respected. Staff members dedicate themselves to providing all students with the opportunity to develop intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. Our strong instructional program integrates the disciplines of language arts, math, social studies, science, art, and music across the curriculum.
Students have access to computers, laserdiscs, and CD-ROM in their classrooms.
The weather station, located on the school roof, encourages schoolwide learning opportunities as well as integration across curriculum areas. Green Acres has other innovative programs to meet the needs of its diverse population. The proximity of George Mason University has facilitated many special programs, as well as the use of facilities, staff, and program resources. Green Acres' staff members, parents, and community members work together to enable the students to grow in knowledge and self-respect. The supportive academic and social environment meets the special needs of our students, prepares them for the 21st century, and encourages them to become lifelong learners.
