The Dayton Early College Academy was established in 2003 under the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Early College High School Initiative, with support from the Cincinnati-based KnowledgeWorks Foundation. DECA was opened as a Dayton Public School, the result of a partnership between the University of Dayton and the public school district. It was reorganized as a charter school in July 2007. DECA is located on the campus of the University of Dayton. DECA was the first early college high school in the state of Ohio, tenth in the nation, and one of the five most innovative high schools according to the Northwest Evaluation Association. With 425 students, the school today represents a unique partnership of the DECA Board, the Dayton Public Schools (as sponsor), the University of Dayton (as operator) and Sinclair Community College. DECA serves junior and senior high school students who are underrepresented in higher education, unprepared academically to meet college readiness standards, and unable to pay for college. The Dayton Early College Academy is singularly focused on preparing urban learners from the Dayton Public School District to go to college and be the first in their families to graduate. DECA is an early college high school that offers Dayton Public School students a one-of-a-kind opportunity to excel academically and succeed in their goal of graduating from college. We offer a high-performing alternative to Dayton鈥檚 urban learners who want a bright future and are willing to work hard to achieve it. What distinguishes DECA from most urban high schools is the 鈥渨e go to college鈥� mindset of our students.
