| Desc | DPA WILL ULTIMATELY BE A COLLEGE PREPARATORY MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL (6TH- 12TH GRADE) FOR STUDENTS FROM WARD 7 AND 8 IN WASHINGTON, DC. BEGINNING WITH SIXTH GRADE AND ADDING ONE GRADE PER YEAR, DPA WILL PROVIDE A UNIQUE, PERSONALIZED EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE THAT INTEGRATES BEST PRACTICES FROM SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, PREPARING STUDENTS TO BE INNOVATORS AND ACTIVE CITIZENS IN OUR TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN WORLD. DPA'S LEARNING MODEL WILL LEVERAGE A CURRICULUM BUILT AROUND TRADITIONAL SUBJECTS WITH THE CRITICAL INCLUSION OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AS A CORE CONTENT AREA. THROUGH CORE CLASSES AND PERSONALIZED, PROJECT-BASED WORK, STUDENTS WILL DEVELOP COMPUTATIONAL THINKING SKILLS, A SET OF CAPABILITIES THAT CAN BE FLEXIBLY APPLIED TO SUCCEED IN FOUR- YEAR COLLEGE AND IN A VARIETY OF FIELDS. IN ADDITION TO RIGOROUS ACADEMICS AND PROJECT-BASED LEARNING, OUR INNOVATIVE APPROACH FOCUSES ON CHARACTER BUILDING, DIVERSE OUT-OF-SCHOOL EXPERIENCES ("EXPEDITIONS") AND DEVELOPING THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL CAPACITIES OF OUR STUDENTS. COMPUTER SCIENCE IS NOT JUST ABOUT TEACHING STUDENTS TO CODE. AS THE FOUNDATION FOR ALL COMPUTING, COMPUTER SCIENCE IS DEFINED AS "THE STUDY OF COMPUTERS AND ALGORITHMIC PROCESSES, INCLUDING THEIR PRINCIPLES, THEIR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE DESIGNS, THEIR APPLICATIONS, AND THEIR IMPACT ON SOCIETY." THROUGH HELPING STUDENTS UNDERSTAND WHY AND HOW COMPUTERS WORK, COMPUTER SCIENCE PROVIDES THE BASIS FOR A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF COMPUTER USE AND THE RELEVANT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, AND APPLICATIONS. COMPUTER SCIENCE BUILDS ON COMPUTER LITERACY, EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP, AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. | Desc |
