College Access + Wellness = DCS

Wellness is a core pillar of college access!
DCS prioritizes our scholars’ physical, social, and emotional health as they prepare for their college and careers.


BALANCE

The language of wellness and strategies to incorporate healthy choices into everyday living are not readily taught. DCS scholars learn the value of establishing self-care and balance in their lives.

 

MIND + BODY

Nutritionally balanced choices in the dining hall. Cardio sessions while watching Netflix. Yoga the day before a big test. DCS helps scholars understand how their mind and body responds to wellness choices, laying a healthy foundation for the rest of their lives.

 

COMMUNITY

Our communities run a greater risk of poor health. Ailments typically connected to lack of knowledge about physical fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness. DCS is proud to partner with all 19 Delaware school districts and serve students across the state. By focusing on wellness with our scholars DCS can positively impact all Delaware students, families, and their communities.

 

CONNECTION

We intentionally include our scholars’ families in wellness programming; knowing that everyone achieves more when we’re in it together! Our aim is for scholars to share their wellness knowledge & habits. This includes hosting family and community events where attendance is tracked to better understand our wellness reach. The wider we can spread the importance of wellness, the more success we will have.
