About the School

Location: 5600 East Capitol Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20019 Phone: (202) 379-4335 | Fax: (202) 506-5749 Maya Angelou Public Charter School (MAPCS) offers students a relevant and rigorous academic curriculum with wraparound support to meet a wide variety of educational and emotional needs.  Our focus is on making students ready for the world, helping them to be career prepared, and assisting them in becoming lifelong learners and contributors to society. Many of our students face challenges in their home life and experience trauma or upheaval that requires a different approach from traditional schools. MAPCS delivers integrated social and emotional health services that at-risk students need to become self-sustaining adults, as well as a comprehensive school curriculum that emphasizes college – and career – readiness skills. Our Blended Learning Model combines face-to-face instruction with technology and online learning with student individual learning plans to meet students at their learning level and give them what they need to catch up, keep up or get ahead. In addition, MAPCS is one of a few D.C. schools offering the advantages of residential and boarding programs to select students who benefit from the stability of a safe, supportive, and structured environment.
