DC public charter schools ARE public schools.

To advocate for and support the District of Columbia’s diverse community of charter schools so that every student can choose high-quality public schools that prepare them for lifelong success.

The DC Charter School Alliance is dedicated to supporting and advocating for the robust charter school sector in our nation’s capital and the nearly half of public school students they serve. Nearly half of students served by charter schools are designated “at risk” of academic failure and nine out of every 10 students are Black or Brown.

With the support of the DC Charter School Alliance, the charter school community ensures that all DC students—from age 3 to adult—can receive the great public education they deserve that prepares them for lifelong success.
