The most compelling difference between Maya Angelou and traditional public schools, is the level of work educators put into catering to the complex and acute needs of our students. Some of the students are high functioning, in terms of academic ability and social/emotional skills; others come with serious challenges – but most fall somewhere in between.

Academics

Our Blended Learning Model combines face-to-face instruction with technology and online learning with student individual learning plans to meet students at their learning level and give them what they need to catch up, keep up or get ahead. In addition, MAPCS is one of a few DC schools offering the advantages of residential and boarding programs to select students who benefit from the stability of a safe, supportive, and structured environment. MAPCS has the twofold challenge of remediating and accelerating students in order to be successful.

MAPCS emphasizes skills that are important for college and career success; we offer students a solid proficiency standard for learning upon high school graduation. We encourage students to choose between the Business Institute and Academy of Hospitality and Tourism specializations, or high school majors. The entire high school student body participates in college and career visits, information sessions and fairs. All students are required to submit a minimum of four (two-and-four-year) college applications. MAPCS curriculum is designed to be structured, yet flexible to educate a full range of learners.
