About Scholar Academies
Currently operating five schools and serving 1,900 students in Philadelphia, PA, Washington, DC, and Trenton, NJ, Scholar Academies manages a network of high-performing schools that provide traditionally underserved, urban students with a meaningful, high-quality education. It is one of the few charter management organizations committed to taking on "turnaround" opportunities that arise within underperforming district or charter schools, in addition to starting new schools. Within the next five years, Scholar Academies aims to have clusters of four to five schools in each of the three regions serving 6,000 students.
About DC Scholars
DC Scholars is the Washington, DC regional cluster of Scholar Academies, a nonprofit school management organization that exists to close the achievement gap and contribute to national efforts to eradicate educational inequity and is currently made up of DC Scholars Stanton Elementary School and DC Scholars Public Charter School located in Wards 7 & 8 respectively. In 2010, Scholar Academies was selected to operate Stanton Elementary, one of the District's lowest-performing elementary schools, through a partnership with DC Public Schools. Guided by the belief that every student can succeed when held to the highest expectations, DC Scholars Stanton Elementary has since implemented a highly-focused, progressive educational approach designed specifically to close the achievement gap for low-income students who come to school severely underprepared.
In 2012, the brand new DC Scholars Public Charter School opened its doors to over 180 students in grades preschool through three. With plans to grow to the eighth grade, DC Scholars PCS is committed—like DC Scholars Stanton Elementary—to preparing all students to succeed academically in high school and college.
