About Center City:
In 2008, several Catholic schools run by the Archdiocese of Washington were converted into public charter schools in order to remain economically and academically viable. Center City Public Charter Schools opened its doors in September 2008 as a new entity unaffiliated with the Archdiocese. As a secular public institution, Center City retains its historic roots by teaching a broad liberal arts and humanities curriculum under the core principle of “Cura Personalis”—care of the whole person: mind, body and spirit. We commit to the intellectual, physical, moral and emotional well-being of each scholar and believe every child can learn, lead and serve.


More about the Center City Science Fairs
Center City’s campus and system-wide Science Fairs elevate the rigor and importance of science. Students use authentic scientific methods, process skills, and inquiry to pursue answers to questions about their world. Students will exhibit the values of knowledge, curiosity, and discipline as they identify a problem, research it, hypothesize a solution, develop and execute a procedure, collect data, and draw conclusions from their work. In accordance with this year’s theme, Patterns, students will also identify and explain patterns in data that they find as they complete their work.
