What does this new Academic Plan mean for my child?


With this new Academic Plan, DCPS is leveling the playing field across the city so that our children - no matter where they go to school - are learning the same content and receiving the same level of instruction.

We see it as our primary job as a school district to develop your child’s knowledge and skills so that he/she has all everything necessary for success in college, careers and life.

What your child is learning in Preschool, Pre-k, and Kindergarten

The Academic Plan begins with our youngest students in preschool, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten. DCPS is excited to have an early childhood curriculum called Tools of the Mind, which will help your children acquire the skills they need to set a foundation for long-term success in school.
