Imagine Southeast Public Charter School
(Coming Fall 2008)

Imagine Southeast Public Charter School prepares students in Southeast Washington, DC to love learning, have outstanding character, and take responsibility for themselves and others through a culturally-responsive, single-sex educational environment that emphasizes quality academic content, character development, community involvement, and student leadership. Imagine Southeast features the first 'dual-academy' single-sex instructional model in the District. Starting in first grade, boys and girls are taught in single-sex classes, creating a Boys' Academy and a Girls' Academy. The Core Knowledge scope and sequence provides the backbone for the curriculum, which has been aligned to DC Standards. This gives students a strong liberal-arts foundation that includes art, music, and foreign languages. Character development and student leadership are key themes that are emphasized in the school's rituals, woven into lesson plans, and modeled by all staff members. Imagine Southeast offers a before- and after-care program and enrichment opportunities for all students. Opening in 2008, Imagine Southeast will start with Preschool-3rd grade and grow by one grade level each year until serving students in Preschool-8th grade. Imagine Southeast is operated by Imagine Schools.
