The School Without Walls
(www.swwhs.org) is a small public
magnet high school in the District of
Columbia. Students are admitted on
the basis of academic qualifications
and an interview and represent all 8
wards of the city. SWW is located on
the George Washington University
(GWU) campus, and through a
partnership between the schools,
SWW students have the opportunity
to take classes at the university.
SWW provides a quality studentcentered environment that maximizes
integrative, interactive, experiential
learning within the framework of a
humanities approach. This program is
achieved by using the city and the
world as a classroom. The school is a
model of collaboration among
students, staff, families, business
partners, and the community.
