While most schools have switched over to Keep It Real curriculum, there are still many schools around the United States and the world that continue to teach the program. While the schools might not focus on the whole curriculum, they do have a trained D.A.R.E. officer talk to children. 

The D.A.R.E. program has slightly changed over the years and tends to include more activities today.

Most programs have a small ceremony once the class graduates from the D.A.R.E. program.
