Maya Angelou PCS - HS

Maya Angelou Public Charter School (PCS) High School, located in the Capitol View neighborhood of Washington, D.C., is a specialized educational institution operated by the See Forever Foundation. The school is specifically designed to serve students who have struggled in traditional academic settings, often including those who have been involved with the juvenile justice system, are over-age for their grade level, or have experienced significant interruptions in their formal education. By combining a rigorous academic curriculum with comprehensive wrap-around social and emotional support services, the school aims to re-engage students and prepare them for success in college and beyond.

The core philosophy of Maya Angelou PCS is rooted in the belief that every student has the potential to achieve, provided they are given a supportive and structured environment. The school’s model emphasizes personalized learning, small class sizes, and a strong culture of advocacy, where educators and staff actively work to address the holistic needs of the student body. Through its partnership with the See Forever Foundation, the school seeks to break the cycle of poverty and incarceration by providing high-quality educational opportunities that empower students to take ownership of their future and become contributing members of their community.
