An important element of Washington Latin Public Charter School's success is its focus on partnerships with organizations outside the school walls. Through forming articulated relationships with key cultural, educational, and civic institutions, we seek to bring the resources of the city to bear on the classroom experience. We believe that this serves both teachers and students alike. We also hope that in encouraging civic participation in students today, our graduates will become adults for whom cultural stewardship is an important value.
