FCPS Feature: Chantilly Academy's Classroom on the Mall

In case you missed it: FCPS recently did a feature on Chantilly Academy's Classroom on the Mall program. While many of our programs take place within the walls of Chantilly Academy, our Classroom on the Mall program allows students to take Marketing Management and Small Business Marketing in an authentic retail setting at Fair Oaks Mall. The recent FCPS article highlights an annual favorite project at our Classroom on the Mall: creating holiday visual merchandising displays at Macy's. 

As part of this project, students work in small groups and alongside Macy's management and staff to setup holiday displays on the sales floor throughout Macy's at Fair Oaks. In doing so, they gain hands-on workforce experience, practice communication, and benefit from the mentorship of store managers and staff.  Be sure to check out the article to learn more about this unique and exciting project!
