Developing Learners for the Future

The District School will provide a vibrant and excellent, Christ-centered education in a racially and socioeconomically diverse community.

The District School seeks to prepare students for the future and develop learners to:

  • be rooted in God's inexhaustible love for them and the rest of His creation;

  • be curious lifelong learners;

  • think critically and biblically to navigate a complex city and world; and

  • develop wisdom and relationships to serve their community.

Christ-Centered

The District School aspires to help learners and their families hear, experience and apply the love of Jesus. The District School's culture and curriculum expose learners to the story of God's great love and provides opportunities for them to practice living into God’s story. Learners at The District School will gain a deeper understanding of how all learning is connected to God's infinite design, and discover their place of belonging and purpose.

Meaningful Learning

Learning at The District School engages children’s hands, hearts, and minds. The District School offers an integrated curriculum, where fields of study speak to each other and are part of a common narrative grounded in big ideas and questions. The District School takes a hands-on approach to learning that sparks curiosity, calls students to apply learning by meeting needs for real people in their community, and develops critical and biblical thinkers and doers.

Racially and Economically Diverse

Forming deep cross-cultural relationships is at the very heart of the Gospel. The District School seeks to provide an excellent education to families of all ethnicities and income levels. We will reserve half of our seats for students whose families make less than the median income in northeast DC, and our tuition model will offer a supportive learning environment to families of all income levels.
