CREATIVE MINDS INTERNATIONAL PCS

Creative Minds International PCS is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Creative Minds International PCS school district, located in Washington, DC with about 441 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 7th Grade. With about 34 teachers, Creative Minds International PCS has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

Creative Minds International Public Charter School (CMI) is an independent, tuition-free public charter school located in the Petworth neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Serving students from preschool through 8th grade, the school is distinguished by its commitment to an inquiry-based, international curriculum. By blending the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) with a focus on project-based learning, CMI aims to foster global citizenship, critical thinking, and social-emotional growth in a diverse urban environment.

The school emphasizes a holistic approach to education, integrating arts, languages, and hands-on exploration to ensure that students are not only academically prepared but also culturally aware. With a mission rooted in the belief that all children can succeed through personalized instruction and diverse learning experiences, CMI creates a supportive community that prioritizes inclusivity. By maintaining a global perspective, the school prepares its students to navigate and contribute effectively to an increasingly interconnected world.
