College Prep at DCET

College preparatory is a program at DCET that prepares high school students for college. The program also helps parents understand how important it is to prepare their children for admission to college, stay there and graduate. All schools should adopt a college preparatory program but sometimes this does not happen... We at DCET assist interns for college success and graduation. Our Internship program is a win/win situation where students, their parents and DCET have mutual benefits. One of the benefits is to offer parents the opportunity to study, ESL, GED, Citizenship and Computer classes free. This program links families to other empowering opportunities through higher education and community involvement.

Jr. and High School Senior students come to DCET to earn their 100 community volunteer hours and help us educate senior citizens. A great combination and win/win relationship!
