As parents, it’s important to understand that technology is a key part of your child’s education, and it’s important to us at DCD to ensure that your student is equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in a world increasingly reliant on technology. At DCD, we go beyond simply teaching “tech” skills. We recognize that technology, when used responsibly, can help develop important life skills such as communication, collaboration, and creativity. We use technology to foster a sense of exploration and discovery and to encourage students to think critically and solve problems in new ways. By equipping our students with the tools and knowledge to thrive in a technology-driven world, we’re helping to prepare them for the future.
