Students are nominated for the program by their teachers or other school staff members. These students show academic ability and possess motivation but are from groups typically underrepresented in challenging high school classes. By providing these students and their families with guidance and support, the program intends to create a culture of achievement, and ultimately, help students reach their fullest potentials. CDP takes a holistic approach, focusing on both the academic and social needs of each child, and is committed to sticking with each child from 5th grade to his/her first year of college. By creating a support network for students comprised of families, staff, tutors, mentors, and peers, and by providing opportunities for trips, group activities, and overall enrichment, CDP hopes to open the door to unlimited possibility for each student.
