We are a form of community support service. We are your cheerleaders, walking with you as you set goals, plan, conspire, start businesses and dream big.
Open Campus on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Learners will gather virtually on Tuesdays & Thursdays (11am-7pm) via Zoom for selected courses, workshops and clubs to check-in, chat and work together on further developing their projects.
As a virtual learner at DALC, you can expect a collaborative learning journey with structured group courses held twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays via Zoom. The remaining days offer freedom for independent studies through the Open Campus program, allowing you to delve deeper into your areas of interest and embrace diverse customs, cultures, and languages.
At DALC, you can expect a virtual learning community that supports your interests and skill development through the guidance of facilitators and tutors.
At DALC, learners have the freedom to explore subjects they are passionate about at their own pace, with abundant resources and unwavering support to facilitate their journey towards mastery and personal growth.
To kickstart your learning journey, we highly RECOMMEND starting with courses like Career Exploration and Discovery Zone.
You’ll be involved in ongoing individual and/or group projects. These projects are planned and developed through group meetings, which you can participate in via platforms like WhatsApp, iMessage, Asana, and Google Drive.
For an immersive experience, we offer in-person live engagement opportunities using a simulated set production, allowing you to learn in an interactive set-production environment.
If you’re unable to meet in-person, don’t worry! There are post-production opportunities for hands-on interaction through technology, internships/apprenticeships, and even entrepreneurial ventures to distribute the final product.
