DSST: Cole is a school not only that teaches its students the importance of teamwork, communication, and prepares them for college; it is also a school that ensures that you get the most opportunities for programs offered outside of the school, SAT prep, and even aids in applying to college and ensuring that you get as many scholarships as possible in order to pay as little as possibly for any and all colleges. They helped me develop skills that not only made be a better student, but a better person as well. Each teacher wants what’s best for their students and they work even outside of the classroom to ensure that each student has an understanding of the material that is being taught. They may seem strict with their required office hours (when students need it) but they truly want each student to have as many opportunities as possible. I have been to only one other school in my entire life, and I have learned far more in the thee years that I attended Cole than at my previous school.
I have liked how welcomed the school has felt since my freshmen year. Every year students and faculty members come together in different types of events to create bonds and become a stronger community. With this, students are able to feel comfortable in the classrooms to collaborate with one another, have confidence in their opinions and ask questions when needed.
It was a very rigorous school but it prepared me well for the stressors of college and how to time manage. The teachers were all great and did what they could to help us succeed, often coming into class early or leaving late to tutor students. The course work was sometimes overboard but it really depended on the teacher and the hard core teachers often offered support for students struggling. DSST Cole cares about its students and teaches in a way fit for most and offer other learning methods if certain students like to learn different ways. The students at Cole are a close knit group due to going to a small school and thus make it easy to make friends and form lifelong bonds. There is plenty of help through the college process and I'm sure I would be struggling more if not for the help of the two college counselors that I still email to this day.
