About Us
WE ARE ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL CHARTER SCHOOL NETWORKS IN THE U.S.
We’re part of one of the nation’s top charter systems. Our sister organization, Friendship Public Charter Schools (DC), has a 100% graduation rate borne of a rigorous curriculum, exemplary instruction, resource-rich forums, and a total commitment to student achievement. The Friendship Aspire Academy STEM School at Bowie will be a natural extension of these achievements.
OUR MISSION
The mission of all our schools is to provide a world-class education that motivates students to achieve high academic standards, enjoy learning and develop as ethical, literate, well-rounded, and self-sufficient citizens. Friendship Aspire Academy seeks to fulfill this mission by providing students a high-quality, liberal arts education focused on preparing students with the academic and life skills needed to be successful in college and beyond.
WHY BOWIE
Choosing Bowie as the location for our first school was intentional. We will create 100+ new jobs in teaching and professional administrative positions. We will also:
help address a chronic teacher shortage
support local businesses that support schools (such as cleaning businesses, school bus transportation, food service companies, and local landscapers)
contract with education consultants and professional services companies to provide services such as mental health, speech, special education, occupation therapy, etc.
