Description

The mission of the Carlos Rosario International School is to provide education that prepares the diverse adult immigrant population of Washington, DC to become invested, productive citizens and members of American society who ultimately give back to family and community. The school will accomplish this through excellence in teaching and learning in partnership with the community and by fostering a safe and compassionate learning environment.

Serving over six generations of students, Carlos Rosario International School has been unwavering in its commitment to excellence in adult education. Our holistic approach has become a model to others across the nation as we serve to be both a Gateway to America for newcomers and a Bridge to Our Dreams for those students who want to achieve all they can in their new country. We believe in supporting each student as a whole person, not solely as a student, therefore our intensive academic program is enhanced by the comprehensive personal and career development services a student may need to help guarantee success as he/she works to become an effective and productive new citizen in our community.

"Carlos Rosario, our namesake, convinced us that our being here was more than a transitory experience. He told us that we should set down roots and adopt our new community as if it were our own."
