We are hiring special education teachers at the preschool level and K-6 level. Also, we are looking for special education teachers to support students with autism at the Pre-K level. Additionally we are hiring a K general education teacher, a Gr 3 general education teacher, a Gr 5 general education teacher and a school librarian.
Our diverse school community is also home to students from the historical community of Gum Springs. Gum Springs is the oldest African American community in Fairfax County and was formerly established in 1833. West Ford, a former slave, founded the community after being freed by George Washington at the age of twenty-one. Located close to the Mount Vernon Estate, the community was a sanctuary for freedmen and runaways. Samuel Taylor, a runaway slave established the first institution in Gum Springs. Our school enjoys a strong partnership with the Gum Springs Community Center. As a Level IV Advanced Academic (AAP) Center, Stratford Landing is home to students from the neighborhood and from seven neighboring elementary schools that join the AAP program in grades 3-6.
