I am extremely excited to hear that Destiny Calling Academy is opening up their school. I had the pleasure of meeting the teachers at Destiny Driven Ministries' amazing free tutoring program called, Destiny Driven Learning Center (DDLC). The teachers there are amazing! And when they told me they were opening up DCA, I was beyond happy. The Sr. Pastor, who will be the Chancellor is so personable, warm and caring, along with the Principal, Assistant Principal, and AdminD. Their free tutoring program is on Saturdays and Sundays, and my son loves it!. The setting is small (which I love), but they are always doing something huge for the kids! They have it set up like a school. They feed the children, and also give them snacks. They spend one-on-one time with the children when needed. My son was not liking school at all. I kept getting emails and calls from his teacher that he seemed distant and not wanting to participate, etc. I placed my son in the DDLC tutoring program and he has done a 360 turnaround. Amazing! I can't thank the Chancellor and the teachers enough.

My daughter has been attending Destiny Driven Learning Center since September of 2017 and I am amazed at her progress. She is currently in Kindergarten but reading on a 2nd grade level. When her tutor informed me they would be opening a private school I was beyond excited. It is refreshing to find an academic institution that have faculty who's sole purpose is to educate and care for your kids. The interactions with her soon to be teacher was amazing. I love the curriculum and focus they have on developing the child as whole beyond the academics. My daughter cannot wait until the this school year is over so she can start her new school DCA!
