Previously DCPS announced Bard High School DC will remain in their Ward 7 – Davis building location for the upcoming school year, 2020-2021. See here for the Bard DC Year Two Location Letter from the Facilities Team. In addition to this letter, the Facilities and Strategic School Planning Teams held a community meeting on November 18th to learn more from staff and families on what their priorities are for the Year 2 (Y2) location and the permanent long-term location.

DCPS will begin focus groups with staff and students this winter to incorporate feedback and recommendations as we plan for Bard DC’s growth in the Davis building. There will also be future community meetings throughout the winter to continue to keep the Bard DC community updated on the location process.

For School Year 2020-2021, Bard DC will have grades 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. Prospective students should reference the Bard DC website’s admissions tab: https://bhsec.bard.edu/dc/admission/
