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!
