Dc Bilingual Public Charter School

Founded in 2004, DC Bilingual serves more than 440 students in grades PreK3 - 5th. Drawing from the 25-year history of its founding organization, CentroNía, DC Bilingual shares the same mission to educate children and youth and strengthen families, in a bilingual, multicultural environment.

DC Bilingual seeks to implement an academically demanding dual language program to foster bilingualism and bi-literacy for all children. DC Bilingual's mission is guided by the following principles:

• Every child has a right to a quality education.
• Parents have an important role to play as partners with us in their children's education.
• Effective schools value children's language and culture.
• Continuity of care can help children build trusting relationships and a positive self-image.
• Every member of a learning community can contribute to its strength and excellence by committing to life-long learning.
