The DLC High School program offers both standard and college preparatory academic tracks from the University of Nebraska High School, which is accredited by AdvancED. The curriculum choices are tailored to individual student needs.
We offer additional programs designed to meet the needs of the learning-differenced and the accelerated student, as well as students on the autism spectrum.
We provide an 8 to 1 student/teacher ratio as well as one-on-one math instruction with speciality area teachers in all subjects. DLC helps motivate students to achieve their goals using strong academics but in a less pressured, positive school environment.
