A Day at DSA

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

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 critically important enterprise 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

The DSA Learning Partnership
Students and parents work with the school to identify and achieve individual educational objectives.

Academic emphasis
Although the development of the whole student is valued, DSA is first and foremost an academic school. Our primary focus is to provide students with the best possible chance for academic success.

Improve
The small group seminar-style classes improve your verbal communication skills, and the frequent feedback and individual attention from teachers will improve your marks to broaden your post secondary opportunities.
 

Enhance your abilities and talents. Recognition of different learning styles allows DSA students to develop their individual potential to acquire knowledge and become skillful problem solvers

Enjoy
With small class sizes, teachers and students can really get to know each other and enjoy learning in a caring, personalized environment.

Strengthen
Strengthen your learning strategies. While the memorization of facts and procedures plays an important part in becoming an educated person, at DSA we are especially interested in helping students improve their ability to solve problems.

Realize
Realize your potential. If you allow us, Durham Secondary Academy will help you define your goals. We believe that every student can succeed and that unrealized potential can be nurtured in a positive, caring, learning environment, characterized by sensible behavioral standards and high academic standards.

Choose
We strive to provide an environment that encourages students to make right choices not only for the future, but also with regard to important decisions in the present.
