Celebrating Over 20 Years of Service to DC Youth

We are proud of the impact that we have made in the lives of hundreds of young people whom we have loved, educated, and empowered to thrive in Washington, DC and beyond.

Maya Angelou Public Charter School was founded by David Domenici and James Forman Jr. and is the namesake of the renowned poet, author and activist. At Maya Angelou Schools, the key to our success is rooted in building trusting, respectful, and nurturing relationships with each other.
