• We operate District-wide and are respectful of the needs of individual communities, and the linguistic and cultural heritage of all DC residents
• We support both exisiting and new programs
• We are open to all languages and cultures
• We believe in the power of multigenerational education and cross cultural communication
• We are big picture – education must be linked to jobs and DC’s economy, and is a lifelong endeavor
