Participation In preparing students to thrive in a work environment, class participation is encouraged. It is a way for students to more actively engage in their learning and goal attainment. Attendance is very important and students are expected to attend class every day. Morning and afternoon classes are offered Monday-Friday and evening classes are Monday-Thursday. Diversity Cultural diversity is highlighted through a variety of activities that foster learning about the Arts and appreciation and respect for different cultures. We host Hispanic Heritage, Black History, and Asian Pacific Islander festivals among others. Students celebrate and explore one another’s cultures through song, dance, poetry, skits, fashion shows and more. Our Students Through the School’s programs, thousands of immigrant adults have obtained high school diplomas, passed their citizenship exam and have become U.S. citizens. They have also gained the language skills necessary to enter into careers, climb corporate ladders, purchase homes, and obtain college degrees and workforce certifications. Through the school’s programs, these immigrant students are able to contribute to Washington, D.C.’s economy and community as a whole.
