AN AWARD-WINNING CAPITOL HILL PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL

The District’s oldest charter school, Options, serves children in Grades 5-12. Since 1996, Options has been recognized for providing a high-quality, unique educational experience for students in danger of dropping out of school because they are underachieving, truant, have behavior problems, or have exceptionalities requiring therapeutic special education services.

Both our general education and full-time therapeutic Transition and Socialization Program offer alternative programs and vocational education, which motivate students to stay in school by giving them the requisite social skills, increased self-esteem, self-control over anger and frustration, desire to learn, and increased academic competence. All of our students benefit from small class sizes with frequent access to state of the art wireless technology, clinical and behavioral counseling services, and intensive reading mediation. Our integrated continuum of services for students is implemented by a network of caring adults who nurture the desire to learn, improve self-esteem, and create a culture of student achievement.

Options PCS was accredited by the Middle States Association in 2002 and over the years has won numerous system and community awards including Mayor Williams High Performing School Incentive Award during his tenure.

Options PCS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.
