Are you looking for a high quality public school for your child? Interested in career opportunities at one of the 57 charter schools in Washington, DC? Want to see the thriving charter movement for yourself? Come to the Charter Expo!
The 4th Annual DC Public Charter School Expo will be held at the Washington Convention Center on Saturday, January 5th, 2013, from 12-4pm. The Expo will bring together the local charter school community, parents, prospective teachers, community members, and vendors. Admission is free!
Last year over 2,500 people attended the Expo to learn more about the range of charter school options in the District. Each school will have an information table staffed by representatives from their schools to answer all your questions, both about student admission and employment opportunities. Local vendors will also be present, including the DC Public Libraries and other community organizations. FOCUS will have staff on hand to help attendees navigate the schools using our Data Center, which allows you to compare schools by location, mission, performance, and more to find the right fit for you.
Visit www.focusdc.org/expo to pre-register and skip the lines! Onsite registration will also be available.
The Expo is hosted by Friends of Choice in Urban Schools (FOCUS), the DC Public Charter School Board (PCSB), and the DC Association of Chartered Public Schools (DCACPS).
