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/

In partnership with Bard College, DCPS is opening a new high school next fall for School Year 2019-2020. Bard High School Early College, Bard DC for short, will be a city-wide, selective high school in Ward 7 or 8. This new school will provide students the opportunity to graduate with up to 60 transferable college credits and an Associate’s Degree from Bard College, free of charge. DCPS put together a survey to gather information from the community on which location traits are most important. In addition to selecting a location for Bard DC Year 1 and future years, DCPS hopes to also learn more about the transportation landscape as we plan for Bard DC’s school opening.

Please contact Helen.Tzow@dc.gov if you have any questions or call 202-520-2277 if you would like to complete the survey over the phone. The deadline to complete the survey is Tuesday, November 27, 2018. A summary of these results will be publicized on the DCPS School Planning Blog. Thank you for your feedback!
