After much discussion and engagement at all levels, from teachers and staff to counselors and leadership, we have decided to focus our efforts on a more streamlined, single program offering with Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) and our new partners at Rivet School. > More info
DV seniors who choose to continue their journey with DV + Rivet School will enroll in college at no cost to the student or their family.
