While our curriculum will meet and in many cases exceed Colorado standards, we have the freedom to teach core subjects such as Literacy, Math and Science through a project-based approach that is more relevant to the way we learn and work today._How will my child benefit?_DGS students are more excited about and engaged in their education, because their lessons and projects are directly applicable to their everyday lives. In addition, our students:__Achieve at a high level academically - with individualized learning plans and a longer school day_Build leadership capacity - by participating in democratic decision-making within a small-school environment_Connect with their community and learn creative problem-solving skills - through our community garden and other service-learning projects
