Why DSA is the Right Choice For Your Child's Education…

Click  here for the Principal's Greeting.

Durham Secondary Academy is a co-educational private day school, offering university and college preparatory programs.

 In addition to providing an academic environment where good students can excel, we are an opportunity for students who have not been able to thrive or reach their potential in traditional school settings. 

Small classes allow us take into account individual learning styles while maintaining high academic standards. 

A safe, caring environment benefits both diligent students looking for higher academic results, and students who are currently experiencing difficulty meeting learning expectations.

Recognizing that parents are the prime educators, Durham Secondary Academy is committed to working with parents to develop and promote a common philosophy. Together, we share the important task of preparing our children for active and positive living.

At Durham Secondary Academy, we are committed to the belief that:

  • success builds on success

  • every student can achieve academic success

  • individual learning styles can be integrated into program delivery

  • study skills and time management are developed through practice
