Downingtown Industrial and Agricultural School
Founded by prominent African American Philadelphians, John S. Trower and William A. Creditt, the Downingtown Industrial and Agricultural School (DIAS) operated from 1905 until 1993 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The school was a non-profit institution geared towards rehabilitating children who have been academic under-achievers due to lack of educational support and guidance, stressful home situations, neighborhood problems, and general lack of motivation. The school was established to provide academic and vocational training to African American teenagers. In 2002 Delaware County Community College opened its Chester County Campus on the school's former site
