As public schools, Virginia’s Lab Schools serve as incubators of innovation — advancing next practices through dedicated research and development to transform teaching and learning. Led by the Center for Educational Innovation & Opportunity, we drive three pillars of impact: Workforce Development, Teacher Growth, and Community Impact. By preparing students for success in careers, apprenticeships, the military, or college; equipping educators with robust training and support; and strengthening partnerships across our communities, we keep Virginia forward focused. Together, we’re making Virginia’s education system the leader in the nation and building the STEM capital of the East Coast.
