In 1997, the Delaware Center for Distance Adult Learning, Inc. (DCDAL) was founded to create an opportunity for Delaware adults without a high school credential to earn a James H. Groves High School diploma online.  Up until that point, James H. Groves High School was only offered at on-site programs housed in seven different locations throughout Delaware.  In 2004, DCDAL expanded to offer online GED preparation.  To date, more than 1,000 Delaware adults have earned a high school diploma or GED through DCDAL.

Our mission is to provide a personalized program with quality instruction and support to enable adult learners to become more effective employees, family members, and community participants.
