DC Scholars PCS

Open Since 2012 Grades PK3 - 8
DC Scholars PCS prepares students for high school by providing them with a foundation of life skills required to become productive members of their communities. Our school delivers rigorous instruction and serves as a community of joy where our students thrive, and it embeds the expectation that scholars can, and will, achieve academic success. As a community school, we believe that our focus should not only be on academics, but that we must also support scholars’ emotional, social, and physical growth to improve overall student learning.
