William E. Doar, Jr. Public Charter School for the Performing Arts - NorthWest 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 will open a NEW elementary campus in NW on the grounds of the Armed Forces Retirement Home to serve 130 students in grades PK3 - 5th grade in 2008-2009. WEDJ was chartered by the D.C. Public Charter School Board in 2004.
