Fairfax County has an "academy" system in which certain schools can draw students from other schools for specialized classes (such as law enforcement, dance, animal sciences, advanced technical theatre, Korean language, etc.). The Chantilly Academy (Technology and Human Services) has several classes associated with Engineering and Robotics (and Team 612), including Engineering Systems I and II, Electronics, and Engineering Physics.

Wildstang began it's 9th period class (after school credit classes) after several students petitioned the school board in 1997-98. The board agreed and approved the class if a curriculum could be formed and listed out as do regular classes. Students do receive grades and must maintain grades in all classes to stay on the team. Participation does affect GPA.
