Mission

BRIYA PCS IS A PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL AND IS OPERATING UNDER A CONTRACT WITH THE DC GOVERNMENT THROUGH THE DC PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD, PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN THAT EMPOWERS FAMILIES THROUGH A CULTURALLY SENSITIVE FAMILY LITERACY MODEL.

  • BRIYA PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL IS A TWO-GENERATION PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL DESIGNED TO GIVE AN INTEGRATED EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE TO IMMIGRANT PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN. FAMILIES ENROLL IN BRIYA'S TWO-GENERATION PROGRAM TOGETHER: PARENTS STUDY ENGLISH, DIGITAL LITERACY, AND PARENTING WHILE THEIR YOUNG CHILDREN RECEIVE A HIGH-QUALITY EARLY EDUCATION. THE PROGRAM BUILDS ON FAMILIES' STRENGTHS AND PROVIDES TOOLS AND SUPPORT FOR IMPROVING EDUCATIONAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL OPPORTUNITIES. BRIYA COLLABORATES AND CO-LOCATES WITH MARY'S CENTER FOR MATERNAL AND CHILD CARE, INC., A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER THAT OFFERS A VARIETY OF MEDICAL, DENTAL, AND SOCIAL SERVICES.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION - INFANT, TODDLER, AND PREK CLASSES FOR THE CHILDREN OF ADULT STUDENTS ARE HELD SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH ADULT CLASSES. CLASSES USE A REGGIO EMILIA-INSPIRED APPROACH. PARENTING AND FAMILY TIME - BRIYA'S UNIQUE MODEL BRINGS PARENTS AND CHILDREN TOGETHER EACH WEEK. AFTER LEARNING ABOUT CHILD DEVELOPMENT THEORY DURING PARENTING CLASS, ADULTS SEE THEIR KNOWLEDGE COME TO LIFE AS THEY ENGAGE WITH THEIR CHILDREN IN THE INFANT, TODDLER, AND PREK CLASSROOMS. WITH EARLY CHILDHOOD TEACHERS OFFERING GUIDANCE AS NEEDED, PARENTS GAIN CONFIDENCE TO EXTEND AND REINFORCE LEARNING AT HOME. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS - TWO PROGRAMS HELP STUDENTS ACHIEVE ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE WITH CREDENTIALS FOR JOBS IN HEALTH CARE AND EARLY EDUCATION: -MEDICAL ASSISTANT (MA) PROGRAM: THIS 12-15-MONTH PROGRAM PREPARES STUDENTS FOR A CAREER AS A REGISTERED MEDICAL ASSISTANT IN MEDICAL OFFICES, CLINICS AND HOSPITALS. MA STUDENTS LEARN TO PERFORM BOTH CLINICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES. -CHILD DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATE (CDA) PROGRAM: THIS 10-MONTH PROGRAM, OFFERED IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, PREPARES STUDENTS TO GAIN THE NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED CHILD DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATE (CDA) CREDENTIAL. WITH THE CDA CREDENTIAL, GRADUATES CAN PURSUE CAREER OPTIONS SUCH AS EARLY CHILDHOOD TEACHER, HOME VISITOR, OR OPERATOR OF A LICENSED HOME DAYCARE FACILITY. THE NATIONAL EXTERNAL DIPLOMA PROGRAM (NEDP) - STUDENTS IN BRIYA'S HIGHEST-LEVEL ENGLISH CLASS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EARN A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA THROUGH THE NEDP, WHICH IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ADULT LEARNERS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
