WHO WE ARE
DC Prep is a high performing network of public charter schools serving over 2,100 preschool through 8th-grade students across six campuses in Wards 5, 7, and 8. We're proud of the high bar we set for ourselves to achieve results-our students deserve our best We recognize that how we support our students to be successful is just as important as the results we achieve, which pushes us to reflect on questions such as:
- How can we facilitate our students' academic, social, and emotional development?
- How can we support our team members' professional growth and personal ability to do this work long-term?
- How can we engage our students' families as our own?
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.
- Social-emotional learning. We have always had a dual mission of academic and social-emotional skill development. Our research-based SEL curriculum is integrated into daily instruction, helping students leverage their personal values to strengthen their self-awareness, social awareness, and responsible decision-making skills and create a school-wide culture of empathy and reflection.
- 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.
OVERVIEW
Students need much more than high-quality instruction to be successful, which is why DC Prep offers a range of in-house student support services that support our Preppies' behavioral, social, and emotional growth.

Furthermore, you love being part of the communities the children on your caseload belong to; getting to know their families, siblings, cousins, teachers and friends over time is fundamental to the work you do. You recognize that clinical services are essential to excellent outcomes for students and want to share your expertise with the people who the kids on your caseload spend the majority of their time with: their teachers. Above all, you're passionate about the need for students from underserved communities to have access to behavioral and social-emotional support services, the importance of addressing the intersection of race and public education in the U.S., and the transformational power of talented, mission-aligned people working together to advance a goal.
