Washington Latin Public Charter Schools - The Anna Julia Cooper Campus

Washington Latin is a liberal arts, college preparatory network of schools with a classical mission. We serve more than 1,000 students in grades 5-12 from across the District across our two campuses. Our two schools possess a particular culture and a clear mission. We believe that all students deserve a quality education that goes beyond preparation and focuses on developing knowledge, understanding and humanity. At Latin, words matter, ideas matter, and people matter. We believe that education is a training of character, and character is the intersection of intellectual development and moral integrity. We aim towards an ideal in our program: developing students to be thoughtful people who will contribute to the public good and continue a life-long quest towards a fuller humanity. Our program focuses on developing each student’s ability to be thoughtful, to consider the views and needs of others, and to act with integrity. The greatest challenge comes in our expectation that students will think before they act and do what is right rather than what is expedient.
