PCA uses a block-style, college-like schedule that allows students to take four academy classes during the time most students take three traditional periods. For example, some classes meet on Monday/Thursday, and others meet on Tuesday/Friday.
This structure helps students build stronger relationships with teachers and peers, receive more support on cross-curricular projects, and experience a smaller learning community within a large high school.
*PCA students have access to the wide variety of electives and advanced courses offered to the general DBHS student body during periods 0, 4, 5, & 6.
