Schools
Located in central Pennsylvania, the DuBois Area School District serves families throughout Clearfield and Jefferson counties. Specifically, our schools draw students from DuBois, Falls Creek, Troutville and Bloom Township, Brady Township, Huston Township, Sandy Township, Union Township, Reynoldsville, Sykesville, and Winslow Township.
Our curriculum adheres to Pennsylvania state standards in all subjects, including the core areas of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. We also offer instruction in art, music, and physical education. Students at DuBois Area School District may also enroll in high ability programming, advanced placement courses, dual/college credit courses, band, choir, theatre arts, career and technical education courses, and world languages.
We are committed to “teaching today’s learners to be tomorrow’s leaders,” and part of the way we do it is by preparing our students to succeed after high school—whether that be in college or a career.
Dual-Credit Options
Thanks to our partnerships with area colleges and universities, like Penn State DuBois, Penn West Clarion, Indiana University of PA, Lock Haven University Clearfield, and Mount Aloysius College, DuBois Area School District offers area juniors and seniors dual-enrollment opportunities. Dual enrollment allows students to receive high school credit at the same time they take college courses (often at a discounted rate). These credits not only save families money, but they prepare our students for the rigors of college coursework.
Career Technical Education
High school students from DuBois Area School District may also opt to take advantage of career-technical education through Jeff Tech. CTE courses provide students with the technical skills they need to land a well-paying job directly out of high school. Consider Jeff Tech if your son or daughter is interested in any of the following:
Automotive Collision Repair Technology, Automotive Technology, Building Trades, Computer Network Engineering, Computer Technology, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Diesel & Heavy Equipment, Digital Media Arts, Drafting, Design & Engineering, Health Assisting, HVAC/Refrigeration, Machine Shop, or Welding & Metal Fabrication.
Virtual Academy
We proudly offer a “cyber education option” for families who will benefit from flexible school scheduling and at-your-own-pace learning. Through Virtual Academy, students make up missed credits, receive tutoring and counseling, and/or become full-time, public homeschool students. We provide this service free of charge and manage the entire system locally.
DuBois Central Catholic is one of the great success stories in Catholic education. DCC is the only school in the tri-county area that provides a private, Catholic-based education for students from Pre-K to graduation at one location. However, it is excellence – not exclusivity – that we want to be the hallmark of our legacy.
Since its beginning in 1961 as a high school and its merger as a school for students in grades PreK-12, DCC has emerged as a leader in academic excellence and character formation.
We strive for academic excellence. To make that possible, we cap grade size at 60 students. This small number creates a sense of community among students and permits strong teacher/student relationships. The teacher to student ratio is only 1:15. The average class size is 15 students. This allows for individualized attention and better academic focus. Our faculty ranges from those who have taught for over 30 years to those relatively new to teaching who bring even more enthusiasm and excitement into the classroom. Our faculty participates in continued education and professional development and are extremely devoted to the students.
Our graduates are moving on to colleges of their choice and becoming professionals that make a difference. Our students’ performance on standardized achievement tests are above the national average. We provide many Advanced Placement classes and free AP testing. Dual enrollment in college courses is also available. Some students leave Central with as many as 24 college credits as well as their diploma.
We are committed to offering students the finest education possible in a Catholic environment. Mass is celebrated once a week and religion is a core subject in our curriculum.
We provide opportunities for your child to grow, not only academically, but also personally and spiritually. At DuBois Central Catholic, we seek to educate the whole student: Body, Mind, and Spirit.
We also offer a full range of competitive sports teams and creative opportunities outside the classroom. DCC works to provide personal development for all of our students.
If you are looking for a Catholic school with a excellent, dedicated faculty, small class sizes, and a proven program for developing your child’s intellectual gifts and moral virtues, DuBois Central Catholic is for you.
