Academic Strategies
DCP’s academic program helps students who have fallen behind not only “catch up” but excel. Our curriculum is a finely tuned combination of:
- Standards-based curriculum and assessment
- Rigorous college-prep work and
- Time for practice, review and reflection.
In every classroom, students:
- Tackle complex problems
- Develop effective work habits and study skills and, most importantly
- Learn to read and write at the college level
When considering curriculum and program enhancements, teachers and administrators continually ask:
“Does this help our students get closer to college success?”
Using student performance data – plus an understanding of the challenges our graduates face while in college – DCP teachers and administrators continually refine the curriculum to fulfill our promise to our families: college success for all!
