Templeton Academy DC

At Templeton Academy DC, our mission is to revolutionize student agency by our students having a voice and choice in their learning and educational journey. We encourage our students “to be in the room where it happens” — to position themselves to take an active role in the issues and ideas about which they are passionate. We do this by using the city as our classroom for a hands-on, experiential learning experience, through the adoption of a rigorous Gold Standard Project-Based Learning curriculum, and by centering our school around a Core Advisory Program that supports students in developing traits and gaining core skills for success such as self-regulation, compassion, agency, and purpose. Our vision is creating a world full of purpose-driven lifelong learners prepared to thrive in college, career and life.
