Our Work

As a new school committed to social justice and cultivating a shared sense of belonging within our learning community, we believe that our students will change the world. All they need are the tools and the time. With your help, our students will gain more access to cutting edge technology and raw materials that will allow them to tackle real-world problems.

Our goal is to make a difference together.

About the Social Justice School

The Social Justice School is an innovative 5th - 8th middle school in Ward 5 of Washington, D.C. We opened our doors in August 2020 to our inaugural classes of Scholar-Activisits.

At the Social Justice School (SJS), we believe in the importance of educating the whole child to become an informed global citizen. Our focus on design thinking enables our scholars to engage in meaningful work, whether that be through our Liberation Design Lab or through community-wide projects or student-led conferences throughout the school year with their teachers.

Each day, we are building a close knit community that collectively pursues innovative solutions to social justice issues that plague our community and the world.
