Winter Arts and Athletics
On the Stage
Save the Dates: February 28-29 and March 6-7
On the Court
More than 100 students are participating in winter sports, which include five basketball teams and two swim teams. Our swim team practices just across the street at UDC, which provides access to a six-lane, 25-yard pool. Thanks to our "no cut" policy, every student is guaranteed a place on a team and encouraged to try new athletic pursuits.
Blackout Night for Varsity Basketball: February 7
City as Our Campus
Our schedule is also designed to incorporate travel in and around DC. Each day, students have "double periods" from 10:40 AM to 12:30 PM, and teachers often use this block of time to visit museums, landmarks, and national parks. For just a small sample ...
- 6th Grade Science to Rock Creek Park - Peirce Mill
- 9th Grade Social Action Committee to Rosemount Center
- AP US History to the National Museum of African American History & Culture
- Chinese Studies to the Freer Gallery
- Contemporary Literature to the National Museum of the American Indian
- Drawing & Painting and Sculpture to the National Gallery of Art
- Social Psychology to National Public Radio
And of course ...
