School Without Walls

Advertising Information for besthousingvalue


High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
 
School Without Walls is established in 1971. Richard Trogisch is the Principal of the school. School Without Walls is a small public senior high school in the Foggy Bottom area of Washington, D.C. It is colloquially referred to by students and faculty as Walls. The school is located on the George Washington University campus. It provides a challenging academic curriculum.
 
It is part of the District of Columbia Public Schools system and draws students from all parts of the city. Any student interested in applying must follow an entrance procedure, involving a multiple choice test, a written essay, an interview, and a report of the applicant's standardized test scores and grades from previous years. School without Walls now has approximately 345 students and spans the 9th through 12th grades.
 
School without Walls attempts to provide a unique learning environment. The George Washington University Partnership, examined below, is one manner in which School without Walls expands the curriculum of its students. Additionally, the school uses science labs at the University of the District of Columbia, has a standing partnership with the Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver and Jacobson law firm and an informal journalism internship program with the George Washington University student newspaper, the GW Hatchet.

George Washington University provides classes free of charge to 100 of the 11th grade and above students. Students must qualify for courses by taking the GWU placement test. Gilder Lehrman provides visiting historians to serve as guest lecturers and seminar leaders. The Institute further assists with college-placement counseling and provides Walls students access to the Institute's contacts at colleges and universities. While Walls has a very small pool of students from which to select its athletes, they do quite well in many sports, consistently placing 2nd in men's baseball.
