Facilities

Friends of Choice in Urban Schools (FOCUS) is now the DC Charter School Alliance!

Please visit www.dccharters.org to learn about our new organization and to see the latest news and information related to DC charter schools.

The FOCUS DC website is online to see historic information, but is not actively updated.

FOCUS established a Real Estate Council in 2013 to facilitate information sharing between the charter schools and facilities vendors, and to provide resources to the charter schools.
