How to Apply?

At Achievement Prep, our dedicated teachers work to level the playing field and push our scholars to exceed academically and personally. We have been serving Ward 8 for more than a decade. Our fully renovated campus serves grades PK3 – 3rd and is located at 908 Wahler Place SE, Washington, DC 20032 in the Washington Highlands community.

Our scholars receive 1:1 technology for both virtual and in-person learning, three times the amount of language arts and math instruction compared to other schools and a college prep curriculum starting in pre-kindergarten.

We’ve spent the past year reimagining school post the COVID-19 pandemic.  With our standard small class sizes, co-teacher model and two modern school buildings, we are confident that we can safely reopen our schools for 100% in-person learning for the 2021-22 school year.  If you are a current or returning family, sign-up for an in-person Open House with School Tour to learn more about our plans for the upcoming school year.  RSVP here.

How to Apply?

Achievement Prep prides itself on a family-centered learning environment that addresses the whole child.  Our families stay with us year after year, so we have a limited number of high quality seats available in grades PK3-3rd for the 2021-22 school year.  We welcome you to apply through the MySchoolDC lottery.

  • For information about registering your scholar at AppleTree @ Achievement Prep (PK3 and PK4), please contact Joi Levrette at joi.leverette@appletreeinstitute.org or call (202) 853-3248.
  • For information about registering your scholar at Achievement Prep Elementary School (K – 3rd grade), please contact Tamiko Singleton at enrollment@achievementprep.org or call 202-562-1307. 

Once your scholar is offered a seat from the waiting list, you’ll have 5 days to submit application documents to the appropriate campus to secure scholars’ seat for the 2021-2022 school year.
