The mission of the Truth School is to empower students with the skills needed to transform the world.
Students at the Truth School will graduate ready for success in college, career, and life. They will serve as active agents in the construction of peace. They will know who they are, what they want, and where they are going. They can walk into any space, find their place, and make a powerful contribution.
The Truth School achieves this vision through a Montessori education that fosters student-led classrooms through appropriate environmental structure, enables students to engage in meaningful work with real world applications, and offers a close-knit community where students pursue justice and practice stewardship.
The Sojourner Truth Public Charter School is Washington, DC’s first public Montessori middle and high school. Truth is accessible via open enrollment for 6th through 12th graders at www.MySchoolDC.org. We strive to be an innovative and exciting learning space that embodies our two design principles: (1) Students need to be prepared for life and not just school, and (2) Every student’s identity, voice, perspective, and choice matter.
