In 1997, the Delaware Center for Distance Adult Learning, Inc. (DCDAL) was founded as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization 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.  The school has been fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools since 1983.  For more information please visit their website at: http://www.css-msa.org.  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.
