Diversity Makes Us True To Our Mission

It is by design that Washington Latin is one of the most diverse charter schools in the District of Columbia. Our mission is to provide a rigorous, classical education to students from all areas of the District. We are fulfilling that mission by enrolling students from all eight wards and through a demographic profile that mirrors that of the city itself. Read More
Our First Senior Class Made Us Proud

In June 2012, Washington Latin graduated its first senior class. This class of 42 seniors set the bar quite high for future classes at Latin. Of all students in the class of 2012 who attended Washington Latin in 9th grade, 93% graduated within four years. This 93% graduation rate was the highest of any non-selective public school in the District of Columbia. Read More

At Washington Latin, we feel a responsibility to support and nurture our students as they take on this educational challenge. Read More
