- We want to enhance the outdoor learning experience of our students, as well as protect and nourish the amazing urban forest that is a part of our campus
We are a full immersion, bi-lingual Mandarin/English public school in Washington, DC. Recently we moved into our permanent home in the Brookland neighborhood of Ward 5 and found ourselves the proud new owners of several acres of impressive urban forest. In order to be good stewards of our new land, we'll be removing invasive species, replanting the understory and adding several outdoor classrooms for our students to enjoy. Please follow our story on The Grove as we improve our tree-covered campus!

The good news is that we were able to follow the master plan created with our sustainability partners and install crush stone paths, drainage channels, outdoor classrooms and begin work on the stormwater runoff…

Washington Yu Ying Public Charter School moved into its permanent home at 220 Taylor Street, NE in the fall of 2011. While we worked very hard on the amazing building (an old monastery built in 1902) to get it renovated to house our students, we also wanted to focus on giving our students an amazing outdoor classroom, in which they could experience science and nature firsthand. A number of edible gardens and a…
