Academy of Hope Adult PCS

Academy of Hope Adult PCS is an active, independent public charter school district located at 2315 18th Place NE in Washington, D.C. Situated within a vibrant large city setting in the broader Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metropolitan region, the district operates exclusively as an adult education provider rather than a traditional K–12 system. By focusing entirely on adult learning pathways, Academy of Hope plays a vital role in the District of Columbia’s educational landscape, delivering tailored programs that empower adult scholars to improve foundational skills, earn secondary credentials, and pursue career advancement opportunities.

Serving a robust community of 997 adult learners, the district maintains a diverse and dynamic student body that includes 718 female and 277 male scholars, predominantly representing Black (939) and Hispanic (42) communities alongside learners of various other backgrounds. To ensure adult students receive comprehensive support both inside and outside the classroom, the district relies on a dedicated professional team of 77 full-time equivalent support staff members focused on academic assistance, wrap-around services, and institutional administrative leadership. Researchers, prospective adult students, and community partners interested in learning more about the district's impact can contact the administrative office at (202) 269-6623 or visit their website at www.aohdc.org.
