Our Goals: Stokes School strives to help all children achieve at their highest capacity in academics. Learning in an environment that cultivates excellence, Stokes School graduates are well equipped for the next level in their academic journey. Stokes School teaches students to think, read, write, and learn in either English and Spanish or English and French. Stokes School involves students in active local and global community service and prepares them for responsible citizenship in a multicultural society. Stokes School aims to increase students knowledge of and respect for their own cultures and the cultures of others. Stokes School approaches each student as a whole child. We provide knowledge, resources, and skills to support students' emotional, physical, and cognitive development and well-being.

Established in 1998, the Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School prepares 350 culturally diverse pre-school and elementary school students in the District of Columbia to be leaders, scholars and responsible citizens who are committed to social justice. We teach children to think, speak, read, write and learn in two languages: English and French or English and Spanish. With a dual focus on academic excellence and community service, the Stokes School accomplishes its mission by creating an environment of achievement, respect and non-violence.
