RIVER TERRACE EC

River Terrace Education Campus (EC) is a specialized public school located in the Deanwood neighborhood of Northeast Washington, D.C. It is unique within the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) system because it serves students with complex physical, medical, and developmental disabilities. The campus is designed to be fully accessible and provides a comprehensive, therapeutic environment that integrates rigorous academics with essential clinical support, such as physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy, directly into the student’s daily routine.

The school is noted for its student-centered approach, aiming to foster independence and growth for learners who require a more supportive setting than a traditional general education classroom. By offering a blend of specialized instruction and specialized services, River Terrace strives to meet the individualized needs of its population in a safe, modern facility. As part of the broader DCPS network, the school focuses on ensuring that all students, regardless of their support requirements, have equitable access to meaningful learning opportunities and community integration.
