About us
The mission of Digital Pioneers Academy (DPA) is to develop the next generation of innovators. We prepare students to meet or exceed the highest academic standards, while cultivating the strength of character necessary to both graduate from four-year colleges and thrive in 21stcentury careers. DPA will ultimately be a college preparatory middle and high school (6th-12th grade) for students from Ward 7 and 8 in Washington, DC. Beginning with sixth grade and adding one grade per year, DPA will provide a unique, personalized educational experience that integrates best practices from school across the country, preparing students to be innovators and active citizens in our technology-driven world. DPA’s learning model will leverage a curriculum built around traditional subjects with the critical inclusion of Computer Science as a core content area. Through core classes and personalized, project-based work, students will develop computational thinking skills, a set of capabilities that can be flexibly applied to succeed in four-year college and in a variety of fields. In addition to rigorous academics and project-based learning, our innovative approach focuses on character building, diverse out-of-school experiences (“expeditions”), and developing the social and emotional capacities of our students

“We’re not going to let anything get in our way today.” That’s part of the daily pep talk that Ms. Hudzick gives Tiffany Fleming’s daughter each day at DPA. The special bond teachers forge with students is one of the many reasons Ms. Fleming is grateful she chose Digital Pioneers Academy for middle school after her children graduated from Rocketship Public Schools.

Thanks Ms. Jacqueline Baron, LICSW for all you do for our DPA school community 💚
As educators, we are responsible for helping young people become the best version of themselves. That means focusing on more than academics; it means addressing all the skills someone needs to experience emotional health and well-being. This year I have challenged my team to answer the question: “What would it really take to meet the social and emotional needs of all of our students and staff?” DPA High School Social Worker and Wellness Coordinator Jacqueline Baron is leading our efforts to enhance mental health in our schools. I urge you to read her blog where she describes how we are strengthening emotional well-being in our school community. https://lnkd.in/e7ikHazP
