"The school founder's vision and implementation of that vision. DCOM pursues excellence in every staff and equipment decision made. Definitely the most technologically advanced school I've seen or heard of yet." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The remoteness of the location is advantageous for a busy student without much tolerance for distraction. When the time comes around to take a break, unless you like the outdoors a lot, there is just not much to do. At the same time, this remoteness does promote a very tight (close) student body."

"A great school, but the location is not for everybody. The curriculum is a great balance of integrated and subject-based. The facilities are the best I could imagine for a clinically-focused school.
