Is there an all-girls school in Anacostia? YES! The Washington Middle School for Girls
is at two locations: THEVIEW -2683 Douglass Rd, Se (4th & 5th grades)
THEARC-1901 Mississippi Ave SE (6th,7th,8th grades)
The Washington Middle School for Girls (WMSG) seeks to create a safe and caring environment-a space within the community where young girls can discover the sacredness of their lives and begin to plan their life long goals. The school promotes academic excellence, social responsibility and commitment to Christian values. WMSG is dedicated to serving students who would otherwise not be able to afford a private school.
In addition to a solid academic program, all WMSG students have access to participate in arts & recreation programs at THEARC, such as The Washington Ballet, Levine School of Music, Corcoran Art Gallery and much more!

WHY IS THEARC NEEDED?
Shockingly, the U.S. Census Bureau 2005 American Community Survey shows that our nation’s capital has the highest rate of childhood poverty of any jurisdiction in the United States. Three out of ten children in Washington, DC live at or below the poverty line—.
WHAT IS THEARC?
Ten non profit partners at THEARC have come together under one roof to help children.
Since its opening in 2005, Town Hall Education, Arts and Recreation Campus-THEARC- has become a national prototype combining social, cultural and health services. It is a $27 million 110,000 square foot center on 16.5 acres of land in Southeast Washington, DC. THEARC provides a daily safe haven for the children it serves, with a wide range of arts, educational, recreational, health programs and services. In addition there is a 365-seat theatre (the only theatre east of the Anacostia River) a regulation size gymnasium, computer lab, art gallery, state-of-the-art music and dance studios.
