DPIE offers a wide range of after-school and summer enrichment classes for elementary and middle school students, providing opportunities to expand their learning beyond the regular curriculum. These enrichment classes are designed to enhance students’ academic, creative, and social development by exposing them to diverse subjects such as science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. Enrichment programs help boost critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and self-confidence, allowing students to discover new passions and talents in a fun, engaging environment. By fostering a love for learning and exploration, these classes play a crucial role in well-rounded educational growth.

DPIE offers after school classes at all eight elementary schools in Dublin and will be offering middle school classes in 2025.

To meet the evolving needs of Dublin high school students, DPIE offers a summer high school academic program that provides accelerated, year-long courses completed in just six weeks. This program has supported thousands of Dublin students in successfully completing courses, allowing them to advance their academic progress and achieve their educational goals.

Empowering Educators, Enriching Classrooms: DPIE’s Commitment to Interactive Learning

At DPIE, we are committed to supporting educators by providing resources that enable them to create interactive and engaging learning experiences beyond the textbook. Recognizing that resources can often be limited, we encourage creativity to inspire students’ curiosity and love for learning. Whether it’s sponsoring a beloved author to speak to school students, funding microscopes for middle school science classes, or supplying mobile science carts for elementary schools, we strive to equip teachers with tools and opportunities that would otherwise not be available. By enhancing the classroom experience, we empower educators to spark innovation, deepen student engagement, and bring learning to life.
