Future Educators Academy (FEA) is a college partnership lab school that prepares future elementary and special education teachers through dual enrollment using accelerated, hands-on learning.

FEA includes a specialized transfer agreement with University of Mary Washington, so students can graduate with a bachelor's degree and earn their teacher licensure two years after high school graduation.

Participating High Schools

  • Culpeper County High School
  • Eastern View High School
  • Orange County High School
  • Madison County High School
  • Rappahannock High School

Class Location

Classes are taken at the Daniel Technology Center in Culpeper County.

No out-of-pocket cost to students

Thanks to generous funding through the College Partnership Laboratory School Fund, students pay nothing out of pocket to obtain an Associate degree through FEA.

Non-competitive application

Selection is determined by lottery.
