School Closings
Scheduled Holidays
Tysons Institute observes all federal holidays in the United States. For details, please refer to the Class Schedule.
Unscheduled Closings
Because Tysons Institute is in Fairfax County, the Institute will follow Higher Educational Fairfax County Public Schools only when school closings occur due to inclement weather. If Fairfax County Public Schools have a late opening, late for one hour or less, this will not affect classes at Tysons Institute. However, Tysons Institute will follow Fairfax County Public Schools when early closings occur. For winter storms or other severe weather conditions, please consult NBC4 on TV, www.NBC4.com online, or call the school for any changes in schedule information. All class time lost due to inclement weather will be made up.
