A.D. Henderson & FAU High School

A.D. Henderson & FAU High School We are located on the Florida Atlantic University Campus in Boca Raton, FL. Alexander D. Henderson University School (often referred to as ADHUS, A.D.

ADHUS & FAUHS is a national exemplary model for school and teacher preparation programs, improving education through innovative faculty research and curriculum. Henderson, or Henderson) is an elementary-middle school (K-8) on the campus of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. We are not a part of the Palm Beach County School System, but we are a public laboratory school under the auspices of

the State University System. Our kindergarten through 8th grade students come to us through a lottery system from predominantly the Broward and Palm Beach county areas. Our classes are small and our parent involvement is wonderful! The faculty members at Henderson have a variety of experience and many are instructors at the University level as well. Our teachers are all involved in research to help Henderson and other Florida schools grow to their fullest potential. In addition to our outstanding academic program, we offer a variety of extracurricular activities as well as an After School Program. Florida Atlantic University High School (FAU HS) is a dual enrollment high school on the campus of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. Our school is unique in the way that students spend their 9th grade year in a typical high school classroom setting, taking advanced coursework. This prepares them for Grades 10-12 where all classes are collegiate classes taken at the University for both high school and college credit. Typically, when students graduate from FAU HS, they have also earned three years worth of college credits. Some have even received their Bachelor Degree!

What would you ask a hero? 🇺🇸

This week, our students have been exploring the exhibit “September 11, 2001: The Day That Changed the World” through stories, photographs, and artifacts that helped bring an important moment in history to life.

Our fourth and fifth graders had the opportunity to speak virtually with Firefighter Paramedic and 9/11 Educational Speaker Danny Worrell, whose father responded to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

Hearing Danny share his family’s story gave our students a personal connection to the courage, service, and sacrifice of those who lived through, and responded to, 9/11.

We remember. We honor. We never forget.

đź“š Celebrating the joy of reading!

Today we celebrated International Literacy Day, sharing the power of literacy by bringing students from kindergarten through high school together to read aloud to one another.

It was a simple reminder of something incredibly meaningful: the opportunity to learn, to read, to write, and to open the pages of a book is something worth celebrating.❤️📖

Learning doesn’t always look like a classroom.

It can look like discovery. Innovation. Research. Problem-solving. Students turning possibilities into something real.

This is where tomorrow begins.

We are launching a new Lab Schools video on our YouTube channel over the weekend, but it will first be featured in this weekend’s community newsletter. Keep an eye out—you won’t want to miss it!

🩸 Real patients. Real lab orders. Real-world skills.

Year 2 Biomedical students stepped into the role of a healthcare professional, each assigned 1 of 11 patient cases. Their challenge? Read the physician’s laboratory orders, determine which tests were needed, and draw blood into the correct lab tube for each test.

It’s hands-on learning that puts biomedical knowledge into practice and prepares students for what’s ahead. 🔬🧪

đźš— Build it. Code it. Watch it move!

We love Specials, and STEAM gives our students the chance to put their creativity and problem-solving skills into motion! 🤖

With guidance from Mrs. O’Sullivan and our S.T.A.R.S. volunteers, students built their own LEGO cars from the ground up, then programmed them to perform basic functions such as spinning and turning.

From LEGO pieces to lines of code, our students were learning by doing and having a whole lot of fun along the way! 💡🔧

We’ve been working on something special to showcase Florida Atlantic Laboratory Schools!
