In addition to classrooms, discovery commons spaces, small group rooms, and resource rooms will be integrated into design to accommodate special projects, collaborative work, and individual pull-out instruction.  The new modernized design shall allow for dining and physical education services.  


The modernized facility will serve approximately 680 students. As part of the design process, the design team will work closely with the school leadership, various DCPS Central Office departments, the School Without Walls Francis-Stevens-specific School Improvement Team (SIT) along with the wider community to better understand community vision and the unique School Without Walls Francis-Stevens culture.
