Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Charter Schools, Education
Mission: To close the achievement gap before children get to kindergarten by providing three and four-year-olds with the social, emotional, and cognitive foundations that enable them to succeed in school.
Programs: The charter school is open to any washington, dc, child in pre-school and pre-kindergarten and admission is free. The charter school currently serves 653 children at six public charter preschool campuses across the district. In 2014-15, the charter school successfully concluded its ten- year charter review with its authorizer, the dc public charter school board, and received approval to increase its enrollment cap to 833 students by school year 2016-2017. The charter school utilizes the comprehensive and evidence-based every child ready instructional model that was developed by appletree institute for education innovation with the assistance of an investing in innovation (i3) grant from the us department of education. The model builds language, literacy, and memory skills using regular assessments and data outcomes throughout the school year. Emphasis is placed on student growth, differentiated by students' baseline knowledge. The charter school's primary sources of support are local appropriations for charter schools from the district of columbia government.
