HomeSkool DC: Educational Resilience for Black Families in the Face of Federal Oversight
Preserve your children's education, history, and future—no matter what happens at the federal level.
Why Washington DC Families Need HomeSkool Now
Washington DC families stand at a critical crossroads. With increasing federal oversight and direct intervention into local governance, your educational autonomy is at unprecedented risk. HomeSkool provides the infrastructure, curriculum, and community support needed to ensure your children's education continues uninterrupted—regardless of external pressures.
When systems face disruption, it's our children who suffer most. HomeSkool creates educational resilience through a proven network of support, resources, and community knowledge that keeps learning on track even during uncertain times.
DC's Current Reality: Why We Can't Wait
Federal Takeover Attempts
DC's unique status makes it vulnerable to direct federal intervention in local governance, threatening community control over educational decisions that impact our children daily.
Educational Autonomy Under Threat
Curriculum choices, teaching methodologies, and even which parts of our history can be taught are increasingly subject to outside influence and restriction.
Disproportionate Penalties
Our youth face increasingly harsh disciplinary measures for minor infractions, creating an educational environment that criminalizes rather than nurtures.
Limited Alternative Pathways
When traditional educational systems fail our children, DC families have few established alternatives that center Black excellence and cultural affirmation.
Our Vision: HomeSkool DC
HomeSkool DC isn't just an educational alternative—it's a movement for educational sovereignty. We're building a powerful network of Washington DC-area Black families committed to maintaining high-quality education regardless of federal interference or systemic disruption.
Our vision centers on creating a self-sustaining community where our children's right to learn their full history is preserved, where families support each other through uncertain times, and where we prepare our youth to be leaders in increasingly challenging environments.
Most importantly, HomeSkool DC connects local families to a national movement, ensuring DC's unique challenges are addressed while benefiting from proven educational approaches that center Black excellence.
