DCI creates a learning environment according to your availability and capability for school. We understand that some students have more pressing matters other than school… Yes, getting a diploma is important but a job or family or lifestyle is more of a priority. For many young adults this is reality! DCI understands and still makes achieving a diploma a possibility for them, as well.
