Sela Public Charter School

Opened in 2013 in DC’s Ward 4, Sela Public Charter School has a diverse student body and faculty that reflects the multicultural and vibrant dynamics of the nation’s capital.

“Global citizenship” education is a key school focus. It includes the development of student skills in communication (including learning a foreign language), collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. It also includes an emphasis on building empathy and emotional intelligence, perspective taking, and learning about other cultures.

Sela has been recognized as a high-performing school by the DC Public Charter School Board.  The school offers an academically rigorous curriculum, including daily Modern Hebrew studies, that lead to a high level of language proficiency.

Sela is proud of its inclusive and diverse community. We serve students from all backgrounds, including students with special needs and a growing number of students who are English language learners. Sela is an intentionally diverse community with an ever-expanding definition of inclusivity. We are committed to ensuring representation of all backgrounds, races and ethnicities, socioeconomic statuses, religions, abilities, cultures, languages, gender and sexual identities, and other characteristics, in our faculty, families, and students.

Sela is a member of Hebrew Public: Charter Schools for Global Citizens, a national network of Hebrew Language schools.
