DC Prep is an award-winning public charter school dedicated to preparing students for college from the earliest years. With a staff of talented and caring teachers, DC Prep is making sure that every student gains the knowledge, skills, and character necessary for future academic and professional success.

Before enrolling, it is important to understand that DC Prep has high expectations for all members of the community – students, parents, and staff:

  • We believe in the power and joy of learning and believe that all students can excel.
  • We provide an intense learning environment including a longer school day, nightly homework, and focused academic intervention.
  • We know that character counts and we teach it explicitly.
  • We promise a consistent, nurturing, and safe learning environment.
  • We value parents as our partners and communicate regularly through weekly academic and character reports, frequent telephone contact, and regularly-scheduled conferences.

By all measures, DC Prep is making a positive difference in the lives of its students. Their academic performance far outpaces their peers in regular public school. Our students are also growing as responsible young people in the community. And parents give DC Prep the strongest endorsement ranking us a "great school" year in and year out.
