Learn about our school accountability system
ASPIRE is DC PCSB’s academic accountability system. It enables us as DC’s only charter authorizer to evaluate and review schools’ performance in service of their mission and students.
ASPIRE Accountability SystemFamilies can explore a mix of programs, ranging from Extended School Year (ESY) and summer school to summer enrichment, bridge programs, credit recovery, traditional camps, and even youth employment for students enrolled in public charter schools.
These opportunities typically begin in mid‑June ( some starting in July) and are delivered by individual schools, each with its own enrollment dates and program mix.
For example District of Columbia International School is offering a unique experience for students. Its “Summer at DCI” is open to all students and offers courses and camps in team sports, theater, robotics, cooking, and even tabletop role-playing games (RPGs), running in two separate one-week sessions in July.
