We are thrilled to share exciting news: Harmony DC was recently highlighted by the DC Charter School Alliance’s CAPE blog for our incredible student growth on the D.C. CAPE test results.
You can read the full DC Charter School Alliance feature here:
Harmony D.C. Public Charter School saw one of the highest improvement scores in the entire city. Students grew by 15 points in math at the 3+ level on the D.C. CAPE test and by a whopping 23.3 points in ELA at that same level. At Harmony, students are engaged in rigorous programming with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to equip them with cutting-edge skills for a 21st-century workforce. As part of their effort to improve learning, Harmony has implemented daily progress monitoring and small-group instruction in Math and ELA, supported by additional intervention teachers and collaborative planning time for staff. The school also established a comprehensive professional development program through Teach Like A Champion, with continuous leadership feedback and enhanced instructional materials that have improved academic achievement. Additionally, Harmony hired an Attendance Coordinator who works with the Student Support Team to address attendance issues through targeted activities, resulting in increased in-seat attendance and reduced chronic absenteeism.

Our summer school program has officially wrapped up! We are proud of all the students for their hard work, curiosity, and positive energy throughout the session.
Click the pictures below to see some of the amazing moments captured during our time together!
Thank you for your continued support and for making this summer a success.
We’re proud to offer all students in grades K–5 two hours of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) classes each week during the school day. These engaging, hands-on lessons help students build critical thinking and problem-solving skills in fun and meaningful ways.
Students can also sign up for STEM after-school clubs to further explore their interests and creativity. Based on interest, our teachers will determine the club days and grade levels, and we will share the final schedule with all families. We hope to launch all clubs by the first week of September.
