By bringing more schools into our coalition, we expand our movement and help more diverse-by-design schools grow, learn from each other and improve.

DCSC is proud to announce our four newest members – they add 17 individual schools and 6,000 students to the Coalition. Join us in welcoming our new members and meet them at our convening next month!
