Why DCE?
Preparing Our Students
At D.C. Everest, we prepare our students for 21st century career opportunities by helping them develop the academic, career and life skills they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving job market. To develop those skills, we help students discover what their talents are, locate where their interests lie, determine what career paths suit their goals, provide them with hands-on educational and extracurricular opportunities, and help them become adept at applying what they’ve learned to real-world challenges.

- Discovering and Developing Talent
- Personalized Learning, Personalized Spaces
- STEAM is a Culture, Not a Curriculum

Taking Risks and Trying New Things
