About See Forever:
See Forever opened in 1997, with the goal of creating a small, nurturing high school for students who had not succeeded in traditional schools. We currently run three campuses under the Maya Angelou Public Charter School name. Our high school and middle schools campus is located at 57th and East Capitol Streets, NE. In 2007, See Forever assumed operation of the Maya Angelou Academy at New Beginnings (formerly the Oak Hill Academy) in Laurel, MD, and also opened an affiliated Transition Center, now renamed the Young Adult Learning Center, in Washington, D.C.
Our school approach and design have worked where others have failed. Over 60% of our graduates have gone on to post-secondary programs after graduating from Maya Angelou, even though many had quit or been put out of school before coming to us. Maya Angelou is recognized as a national model, having created the sort of high-quality school often reserved for the most affluent, but in our case designed specifically for the most disadvantaged and often academically in-need students.
