Current openings at District of Columbia International School
Who We Are
District of Columbia International School (DCI) is a public charter school serving over 1600 racially and economically diverse students in grades 6-12 from across the District of Columbia. We aim to provide our students with a world-class education that empowers them to follow their passions and change the world. DCI’s education centers on an International Baccalaureate curriculum, advanced language learning in Chinese, Spanish, and French, and a culture focused on student agency supported by 1:1 technology.
Our school is grounded in the following essential characteristics, which shape the DCI experience for our faculty, students, and families:
- Culturally Competent: We expect our community to reflect and celebrate the diversity of our students and staff.
- Ownership: Community members are owners and don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results.
- Insist on the Highest Standards: Our staff is continually raising the bar and driving their teams to deliver high-quality education.
- Doing the Most: We are committed to giving students the tools they need to succeed in anything they choose for life after high school.
- Disagree and Commit: We are obligated to respectfully challenge decisions even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting.
- Servant Leadership: We start the decision-making process with the community, student, and staff needs, and work backward.
- Accountability: Community members are expected to provide and uphold honest, constructive feedback with each other through hard conversations.
Join a great team focused on building a great school for our community!
