Specialty Program

Battlefield is the Center for Applied Sciences, Interactive, and Information Technology (CASIIT), an innovative program that emphasizes the use of technology and data in all jobs, in all industries, and all futures. The skills learned in the CASIIT program will help students excel in every career and every field with the depth of technology embedded in the economy. Our wide array of course offerings can prepare students for a future in computer science, information technology, interactive technology, cyber security, engineering, robotics, and sustainability.

CASIIT students have the opportunity to take courses through Northern Virginia Community College with an array of dual enrollment course opportunities. Several of these courses also provide students with the opportunity to take an industry certification exam including Network+, Security+, CCNA, and Oracle.

Enrichment Programs & Extracurricular Activities

Battlefield's committed teachers regularly provide on-demand after-school enrichment, tutoring, and remediation and formalized, targeted intervention programs to meet the academic needs of identified or referred learners. Formal groups ranging from professional organizations and honor societies to impromptu teacher-student work sessions regularly provide support, scaffolding, and additional content. Our robust special and gifted education programs ensure support for the full spectrum of students.

From business groups to community service programs, Battlefield High School offers a rich tapestry of opportunities to get involved in something meaningful. Bobcat Athletics provide a full range of competitive sporting activities; our renowned arts programs afford outstanding music, art, and drama performance and participation experiences; and our CASIIT program, robotics, debate, and service organizations have been regionally, nationally, and internationally competitive and recognized.
