Skyview High School Projects

Fostering 22nd century skills and readiness for careers yet to be imagined

Fairfax County Public Schools recently acquired a property for a new high school in the western part of the county. This is our first new high school in nearly two decades! It will provide state-of-the-art educational facilities to help address the growing educational needs in western Fairfax.

The expansive 32.7 acre site, formerly the King Abdullah Academy, features 355,000 square feet of modern learning spaces, including large multi-purpose halls, libraries, fine arts facilities, and athletic areas. 

The school's new name was determined to be Skyview High School by the School Board at a February 12, 2026 meeting.

Future Events

Information on future events will be posted as soon as they are planned.
