The Most Educational Opportunities in Iowa

Des Moines Public Schools may be the biggest provider of public education in Iowa, but the district takes anything but a one-size-fits-all approach to educating students. In fact, families in Des Moines can find more educational options than anyplace in the state.

Our Teaching & Learning department oversees a wide variety of educational programs throughout the school district, including curriculum areas, student assessment, gifted & talented programs, English language learner services, counseling, preschools, and more.
