All the late nights, hard work, and prayers led to this moment. So proud of everyone for choosing their path and stepping into a new chapter different schools, same goal: success. The future is ours, and this is just the beginning 💫
Today was completely steeped in tea culture! 🍵✨ We explored the historic Southern Silk Road and visited a local tea factory. The kids got hands-on, learning the very first steps of transforming fresh leaves into dried tea. 🍃
We also wandered through lush tea gardens, where the students even got to pick fresh tea buds straight from the bushes! Of course, we had a tasting session, and everyone loved trying the freshly brewed samples. 😋
To top it all off? An authentic, mouth-watering hotpot feast tonight! 🍲🌶️ The perfect end to a perfect day.

🔥🧠✨ BARD IS BUILDING WHOLE SCHOLARS — MIND, BODY & FUTURE READY ✨🧠🔥
Today, Bard High School Early College DC hosted an incredible 2026 Mental Health Summit & Career Fair — and the impact was POWERFUL.
From engaging with mental health professionals to connecting with career leaders across industries, our students experienced what it truly means to be supported, seen, and prepared for what’s next. 💼💡
This wasn’t just an event — this was a movement.
Our students leaned into conversations about wellness, self-awareness, and resilience, while also exploring pathways for college, careers, and life beyond Bard. Because at Bard, we believe:
➡️ You can’t achieve at a high level if you’re not well.
➡️ You can’t dream big if you’re not exposed.
This experience directly aligns with the DCPS 2023–2028 Strategic Plan:
✔️ Connected to School – Students felt a deep sense of belonging and support
✔️ Prepared for What’s Next – Real-world exposure to careers and postsecondary pathways
✔️ Accelerating Achievement – Removing barriers so students can thrive academically and emotionally
A HUGE shoutout to our mental health professionals, community partners, and staff who curated an experience that centered our students holistically. 👏🏾💙
At Bard, we don’t just educate — we empower. We don’t just teach content — we develop people.
Families, if you are looking for a school where your child will be challenged, supported, and prepared for greatness…
👉🏾 Bard High School Early College DC is THE place to be.
