DC BILINGUAL PCS

DC Bilingual PCS is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the DC Bilingual PCS school district, located in Washington, DC with about 440 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 45 teachers, DC Bilingual PCS has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

DC Bilingual Public Charter School (DCB) is a prominent educational institution located in the Riggs Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The school is defined by its commitment to a dual-language immersion model, where students are taught in both English and Spanish. By fostering biliteracy and biculturalism, the school aims to prepare students to succeed in a globalized society while celebrating the diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds of its community. Its curriculum is designed to be rigorous and inquiry-based, ensuring that students develop strong academic foundations while achieving fluency in two languages.

Beyond its academic focus, DC Bilingual emphasizes the importance of community and holistic development. The school prides itself on a supportive environment that prioritizes social-emotional learning alongside core academic subjects. By creating a collaborative culture involving students, families, and staff, DCB works to bridge educational gaps and provide high-quality, equitable learning opportunities for students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. The school’s location at 33 Riggs Rd NE serves as a hub for this inclusive approach, reinforcing its mission to cultivate engaged, empathetic, and bilingual lifelong learners.
