Duncan's Environment Designed to Gain an Education
Purpose: Duncan's E.D.G.E. Academy is a self-paced program for students who are likely to not graduate from high school. These students face extraordinary circumstances in their lives. Some are educationally challenged, while others have family difficulties or deal with health issues. The academy's emphasis is on meeting the individual needs of each student.
Mission Statement: Our mission is to encourage high-challenge students to become fulfilled, productive members of society.
Our Philosophy: We believe that through individualized, caring instruction, students can regain self-confidence and motivation.
