At DCI, we seek to be a space where we model the change we want to see in the world. Our mission – to inspire inquiring, engaged, knowledgeable, and caring secondary students who are multilingual, culturally competent and committed to proactively creating a socially just and sustainable world – remains unchanged, though it feels even more important at this moment. Yesterday we shared a post-election community message with the DCI community. We will continue to dedicate ourselves to the collective needs of our school community during this time. What made us strong yesterday is what makes us strong today, our commitment to teaching and learning and our work to inspire our students to foster belonging and inclusivity.
