WHO WE ARE
DC Prep is a network of public charter schools serving over 2,000 preschool through 8th grade students across six campuses in Wards 5, 7, and 8. We're proud of being the highest-performing public charter network in Washington, DC – our students deserve our best! – while recognizing that how we support our students to be successful is as important as the results we achieve. That pushes us to reflect on questions such as how we can facilitate our students' academic, social and emotional development, how we can support our team members' professional growth and personal ability to do this work long-term, and how we can engage our students' families as our own. While this work is hard, it's worth it – we believe in the transformative power of education, the can-do-itness of our students and staff, and the joy that comes from engaging in meaningful work with people we care about and trust!
Here's how we drive results:

• Rigorous academic focus. Our Preppies receive the highest level of academic preparation through standards-based instruction, daily targeted interventions, and meaningful assessments.

• Culture built on character. Success is built upon character, so we build "Prep Skills" (e.g., persevering on tasks and projects, self-advocacy) into every minute of the day. We've built a strong community of Preppies, teachers, and families that are focused on character first.
• Commitment to reflection and refinement. Our results tell us that we are moving in the right direction, but there's further to go to ensure that every student receives a transformative education. As a team, we regularly reflect on our programmatic model to see what's working and where we can get better.
