William E. Doar, Jr. Public Charter School for the Performing Arts - Edgewood Campus

"The William E. Doar, jr. Public Charter School for the Performing Arts will foster a safe, creative, enjoyable and culturally sensitive learning environment for all students will the goal of providing a college preparatory curriculum in both academics and the performing arts to produce the next generation of leaders for America and the Global Society."

We firmly believe that an ideal education addresses the fact that students have multiple learning faculties, instructs students in a number of disciplines in the Renaissance tradition and challenges students to engage and relate to the world around them beyond an insular definition of community. Combining a multi-disciplinary arts program with the highest educational standards, WEDJ PCS is committed to graduating well-rounded, liberally educated, responsible young men and women. WEDJ PCS serves PreK3 - 10th grade this school year and will grow to accommodate grades PreK3-11th in the 2008-2009 school year. The first 12th grade class will graduate in June 2010. WEDJ was chartered by the D.C. Public Charter School Board in 2004.
