About UsWe teach. We empower. We engage.
CDL teaches beyond the classroom and our youth become inspired to reach beyond the classroom. We meet youth where they are socially, emotionally and academically and help to empower them to overcome barriers. We believe in the infinite potential of all children and feel that failing forward is one of the most valuable lessons we can teach.
"The Center for Dynamic Learning doesn't just take an out-of-the-box approach to supplemental learning opportunities. There isn't a box made that could pigeonhole them."
