Back in Action! The First Day of School for Every DC Public Charter School

Across DC, the new school year is about to begin. In the coming weeks, thousands of students attending public charter schools will walk through their school doors ready to learn, grow, and connect with classmates and educators. From welcoming new students and reuniting with friends to meeting teachers and setting goals for the year ahead, school communities across the city are preparing for an inspiring start to another year of achievement.

As we build on the momentum of celebrating 30 years of DC public charter schools, we're excited to begin year 31. See each school's first day of instruction below, and be sure to check each school’s website for the most up-to-date information. You can find websites for each school by navigating to our school profiles.
