Daniela Anello
Head of School at
DC Bilingual Public Charter School
|
Turning Passion into CommunityDaniela Anello, Head of School at DC Bilingual Public Charter School, shares her experience growing up as an immigrant, English language learner in public schools and how it fueled her passion for bilingual education.
Today Daniela channels her passion into building the school community she always dreamed about as a child -- where all students succeed regardless where they come from or what language they speak. |
Daniela Anello, Head of School, leads the strategic vision, implementation, and growth of DC Bilingual both academically and operationally. The DC Public Charter School Board ranks DC Bilingual among the top elementary charter schools in the city and The New Teacher Project ranks DC Bilingual in the top quartile of all DC charter schools for its strong instructional culture.
Head of School since 2015, Daniela has been a critical leader to the DC Bilingual community as the school has become an independently operated charter school; secured and expanded the historic Keene campus; and grown to serve 530 students with plans to eventually serve more than 700. Daniela started with DC Bilingual in 2009 as a Literacy Coach and advanced into the roles of Resident Principal and Interim Principal before the school’s board of trustees named Daniela Head of School. Daniela launched her teaching career in the elementary school classrooms of New York, Boston, and Washington, DC.
Daniela is a graduate of New Leaders Emerging Leaders and Aspiring Principals Program and completed the Literacy Specialist Master’s of Arts program at Teachers College Columbia University. Daniela holds a Bachelor’s of Arts, elementary education and teaching from the State University of New York, Geneseo. A native of Chile, Daniela lives in Washington, DC with her husband and two children, both DC Bilingual students.
