The School Founders believe that through active learning, character growth and teamwork, students will have the meaningful experiences that are rich in content and have long lasting effects.
DCS is an EL School and will give students hands-on education while creating an environment that fosters inquiry, sets high expectations, integrates core disciplines and builds on students’ existing understanding.
