Developing Scholars

DC Scholars develops life-long scholars with the academic knowledge and skills, individual passions, and community-mindedness necessary to succeed in and contribute to an ever-changing world. Beyond core academics, scholars can explore Spanish, soccer, the arts, and athletics during school, after school, and in the summer.

Text reads 'Writing', with an illustration of a pencil above the text.

Serving PK3-8 Students

Opened in 2012 as a public charter school in DC’s Ward 7, DC Scholars now serves grades PK3-8 while sustaining strong academic achievement.

The image shows text that reads 'Election Results 2024' with stars and the numbers 1, 2, and 3 in blue.
