All of our students are global learners who develop strong communication skills in a world language, providing them with a significant academic advantage!
Global Studies: Every student learns about various cultures, important historical and current events, and major global issues. Our aim is to inspire creative solutions, promote active citizenship, and empower students to make a difference in their communities and around the world.
World Languages: Students have the opportunity to learn a world language, specifically French or Spanish. Students typically receive World Language classes for an average of 90 minutes each week. Those enrolled in the Spanish Immersion program do not attend these specials classes.
Spanish Immersion: Students that participate in our Spanish Immersion program learn reading, math, science, and social studies in Spanish for most of their day. This helps students become fluent in Español while they learn essential academic content.
We’ve been named a National Merit School of Excellence by Magnet Schools of America, the national association for magnet and theme-based schools.
This award recognizes top magnet schools in the U.S. for their commitment to academic excellence, innovative curricula, diversity efforts, and high-quality education. Only a select group of schools receive this honor for outstanding performance in all areas of the merit award application.
Our global learners investigate the world, recognize perspectives, communicate ideas and take action!
We look forward to taking you on a global quest to see all the amazing things happening at DDMES! Let's get ready to explore and SOAR!
