Van Ness Elementary School is an inclusive community in Washington, DC, where children, families, and educators come together to provide authentic experiences and engage the whole child. With a vision to cultivate critical thinkers and develop confident, curious, and compassionate members of society, the school reopened in 2015 and has since undergone remarkable transformations, including the addition of a brand new wing with a rooftop educational garden, a renovated historic field house, and an annex building for fifth graders.
Partnering with Transcend, an engine for R&D on new school models, Van Ness Elementary is committed to creating a powerful elementary school model that has the potential to transform elementary education not only in the District of Columbia but also nationwide. The school takes pride in its award-winning educators and actively promotes an anti-discrimination policy to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all students.
