THE DUBUQUE DREAM CENTER ACADEMY (DDCA)

HISTORY, PURPOSE, MISSION

The dream for students of the Dubuque Dream Center Academy is to build character and foster academic excellence on a foundation of Christian Identity.

THE HISTORY

Building on a Dream

Established in July 2013, the Dubuque Dream Center has been:

building on Dr. King's dream for more than a decade,
unifying our community across racial and socioeconomic lines, and
embracing and empowering youth and families impacted by generational poverty.

The Dubuque Dream Center is structured to provide programs that address the social, academic, and economic needs of youth and families in a coordinated, systematic structure and continues to impact youth by utilizing our In Your Life Mentoring Model.

Annually, an average of:

70% of Dream Center students progress toward reading proficiency; and
80% of students progress towards math proficiency.

THE PURPOSE

An Urban Christian School

The Dubuque Dream Center is strengthening its In Your Life Mentoring Model:

by expanding it into a non-denominational urban Christian school setting in our community: the Dubuque Dream Center Academy,
to increase the number of students who are disciples of Jesus Christ,
to support successful academic outcomes, and
to prepare students for college and careers.
