Washington Latin PCS provides a challenging, classical education that is accessible to students in all wards of the District of Columbia. At our school, we believe that people, words, and ideas matter. We believe that student performance is enhanced by small class sizes where students are known and don’t fall through the cracks. Student anonymity is the enemy of our mission; we aim to know each student’s strengths and challenges. At the heart of our school lies our classical curriculum, a body of material tested over time as essential for a human being. We shape our units around eternal moral questions, and we encourage reflection and debate. The diversity of our community provides multiple perspectives on these moral issues and requires all members of our community to consider their own biases. We believe that the great end of education, especially in a global 21st century, is a deep understanding of the motivations and behavior of oneself and others
