Instead of sitting through classes in high school that had no bearing on your future, you would have been preparing for the call on your life. DBE also has a very pragmatic element that greatly effects how education is done. Instead of a child spending their entire day studying everything at a specific grade level, they are able to advance at the pace that they should advance. If this same child struggles in Language Arts, they receive the additional assistance that is needed at the appropriate level. As it should be obvious, that before long there are no longer grades but levels of proficiency.
Students are free to perform to their ability in all areas.
A Pre-Algebra course might have students ranging in age from 8 to 18. Students under a DBE curriculum are still expected to learn basic knowledge that is needed to be a successful citizen in the world today. Destiny Based Education was born in 1996 in a prophetic word received by Susan Coad. Susan received this word after we had spent many hours sharing what we believed God was calling us to do in education.
