Students

Students learn how they learn best, and how to manage authentic challenges. They helped design the campus, found over 40 clubs and sports teams, and use their initiative to create positive change. They mentor their younger peers and share personal stories of challenge and triumph at community meetings.

Teachers

Teachers at dtech are engaged facilitators who mentor student progress during class time, office hours and referral periods. Each afternoon, the daily schedule includes FLEX time, where students can meet with teachers for additional assistance or engage in independent learning time to work on assignments. Students who are not on pace in a particular class will be required to attend the teacher's referral period until they achieve competency on the course materials.

Assessment

By using an assessment system focused on competency-based evaluation, students have multiple opportunities to check their comprehension and revise work before completing letter-graded performance tasks and unit exams.
