Help Open Doors for DCI Students!

DCI started 10 years ago from grassroots efforts to extend pathways for advanced language learners. In the last decade, DCI has evolved far beyond its original impetus, setting the bar for a high quality, global education meant for all students. Today DCI's work centers around three pillars: IB-for-all, advanced language proficiency, and student agency.

Our community continues to contribute time, voice, and resources to strengthen our school. We invite you to participate in our 2023 end-of-year giving campaign to further DCI's mission.

How every gift makes an impact:

✅ IB-for-all: 100% of DCI's students participate in rigorous, inquiry-based IB curriculum across all grades and subjects.

This academic preparation opens doors. Alumni report that their DCI education prepared them well for the requirements in post-secondary education. 🎓

✅ Advanced language proficiency: Coursework across a wide array of subjects and electives in Chinese, French, and Spanish not only focus on language proficiency, but cross-cultural competency and global understanding. Many school events and student groups were created to celebrate and learn about different cultures.

These global perspectives and skills open doors. 🌎

✅ Student Agency: DCI students exercise student voice inside and outside of the classroom. Students decide their topics of inquiry for independent projects, engage in Student Led Conferences, and take leadership roles in clubs and sports.

These leadership and self-advocacy skills open doors. 🚀
