On March 24th, President Obama placed a phone call to the astronauts on the International Space Station and Friendship School students were there! Friendship Public Charter School has been a long-time parter with CEDC and we were excited to read that some middle school students from Friendship were invited to be present during the phone call.
Friendship Public Charter School
Friendship Public Charter School operates six public charter schools and, in parternship with Baltimore City and District of Columbia Public Schools, manages four turnaround schools, serving nearly 8000 students from pre-school (three years old) to 12th grade.
Since its inception in 1997, Friendship Public Charter School has enabled thousands of students in underserved communities to become real achievers. Friendship applies its unique educational model with winning results to improve academic performance, educate the "whole child," offer families wrap-around social services, and direct students to college and a solid, rewarding future.
Friendship operates around a simple principle: all students must be prepared for higher education and the career of their choice by ensuring mastery of the skills, knowledge and tools needed to succeed in the 21st century global economy.

Friendship Public Charter School mentioned in front page Post article
Another CEDC partner, Friendship Public Charter Schools, got a mention in a front page article in the Washington Post today. The article is discussing the experiment that is the DC charter school system and the gains in test scores over DC Public Schools. Here's an excerpt:
Academic Design Guide
Friendship Public Charter School requested an Academic Guide to give out to their teachers. It describes Friendship's unique way of educating and needed to reflect the professional and child-centered academic model.
Friendship News and Notes
Friendship News and Notes is a periodic newsletter for parents of children that attend schools in the Friendship umbrella. We developed a look that was professional but also a little playful, using Friendship's trademark bright red, rounded corners, and a modified font style for headers.
