  • Students earn a diploma, NOT a GED

  • Students under 22 years of age as of September 1st can apply

  • There is a Wednesday night class for students aged 19 years and older

  • Students under 19 years of age are offered classroom time Monday-Thursday between 7:55 am - 2:50 pm

Please see the DK Academy student handbook for more detailed information.
