About Nia Community Public Charter School

The founders of Nia Community Public Charter School (NCPCS) submitted its application to the District of Columbia Public Charter School Board for approval to operate a charter school in the District of Columbia. Upon approval, NCPCS opened their doors August of 2006 serving children from Pre-Kindergarten through the Third grade initially and shall expand to service Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth grade. A major reason for the NCPCS charter school application is to respond to the significant academic needs of low-income minority children in the District of Columbia, especially those children who reside in neighborhoods located east of the Anacostia River. The NCPCS founders are committed to expanding the availability of quality of educational resources for the target population.

The goals of NCPCS as a Community School are:

Quality Education-to deliver a well- designed curriculum that meets high academic standards and uses community resources
