Overview of DCC Academies
Albert Einstein High School, along with Montgomery Blair, Wheaton, J.F. Kennedy, and Northwood are the schools of choice in the Down County Consortium (DCC). Each of the DCC high schools offers courses of study so students may explore future career possibilities and/or better prepare themselves for post-secondary education. Currently, 20 programs are offered at the five DCC high schools.
When choosing a high school, middle school students should consider the Academy Programs offered at each of the schools so that their interest and their high school of choice match. Beginning with the class of 2008, all students participate in one of the three Academy Programs at AEHS.
