What is different for private schools or programs that join the DLC?
Private schools and programs (e.g., a nonprofit program or community organization) in the state of Washington can join the DLC at a rate of $8 per student. Both private schools and programs have access to DLC resources and services, with the following exceptions: • Programs do not have access to online courses. Credit for online courses can only be granted by a student’s school. Programs can consider partnering with local schools to offer courses; contact the DLC for details. Programs are also not eligible for Course Credit Funds. • Private schools are not eligible for Course Credit Funds. Course Credit Funds are subsidized by the state of Washington, and this resource is earmarked for public schools. Private schools can also take advantage of our Courses-Only Membership for $100.
