La Academia and Night School
La Academia is a 9-12 grade private high school serving 60 students from low-income families. Our goal is to motivate and educate high school students who have been expelled, have dropped out or are at risk of dropping out of school. Our hope is to help these students break familial cycles of academic failure and to help them achieve academic competency and success – in the end also affecting the educational dynamic of this community.
In addition to La Academia, DICP operates Night School. This program is an accelerated diploma or GED program for adults 18 years of age and older. We serve an average of 20 students per year.
Puentes Program
While the success of La Academia lies in helping students to graduate from high school, there is an ongoing need to provide college preparation and career counseling for these students’ futures. To address this need, DICP has implemented a program for La Academia students called Puentes (Bridges) to help with the next step in educational success.

The Summer Day Camp and After School Programs provide affordable, alternative childcare for working poor families. We enroll 35 to 60 boys and girls ages 5 -12.
