AppleTree Early Learning Public Charter School

AppleTree Early Learning Public Charter School (AELPCS) is an independent public charter school open to all three- and four- year olds in the District of Columbia. The school’s mission is to close the achievement gap by providing young children with the social, emotional and cognitive foundations that will enable them to succeed in school. We believe that all children are capable of attaining high academic standards, but that many start formal schooling lacking the basic skills that are predictive of later academic success. AELPCS provides young children with an intensive, engaging, and appropriate early education program that ensures children attain the language, early literacy, and behavioral skills they need to transition successfully into kindergarten.

AELPCS believes that skilled, caring and enthusiastic teachers and staff are the keys to our children’s success. We provide professionals with a tremendous opportunity to be part of an innovative, supportive and effective educational community.
