DTS - The Curriculum

Each DTS is a mobile school with a flair toward creativity which means an emphasis on how you process the information you receive, then apply it through the many talents and gifts you have as an individual. Many of us have been involved with limited learning styles that cater for a few - however, we don't all learn and process things the same way. There are actually many types of learning intelligences. So we tailor the training to help you to get the most out of your DTS!

If you are not feeling like a particularly creative person, don't worry. Our school and program is for anyone that wants a bit of adventure, likes getting outdoors and are open to grow in God!
