Welcome to Rock Creek Academy, where we offer full time permanent and interim special education services to students ages 5-22 with a variety of disabilities.

Located in Washington, DC, Rock Creek Academy provides an interactive, academically focused, and therapeutic environment that recognizes the daily challenges of students who require alternatives to traditional education.  This is achieved through:  low student teacher ratios; the implementation of sound meaningful instruction, and intensive therapeutic/behavioral interventions and supports.

VISION STATEMENT: Rock Creek Academy will be viewed by the educational community as a multi-component program for students with learning and emotional disabilities. It will become the premier choice for educational programs designed to serve special needs students.

MISSION STATEMENT: The faculty and staff of Rock Creek Academy are committed to providing a positive, supportive, educational and therapeutic environment where students can develop to their fullest potential, while acquiring the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to become lifelong learners and productive citizens.

We believe the keys to academic success are directly connected to cultivating a safe, positive, and stimulating learning community where students have the freedom to explore interests, talents, and strengths. Rock Creek Academy aims to fulfill its mission of Challenging Minds and Building Character.
