DPA is a charter middle school opening in Ward 7 in Washington, D.C. in August 2018. We’re excited to create the first-ever computer science-focused middle school in the district. DPA will educate all students, specifically high-need students, at high levels by ensuring all teaching and learning is infused with computer science and coding. We believe that Computer Science is not a “Nice to Have,” it’s a “Must Have.” We will provide our students with the skills to graduate from college and work in the 1.4 million computing jobs available.
