Exceptional school. Top notch academics, absolutely outstanding arts programs, wonderful staff, and a culture and philosophy that shapes kids into confident leaders through positive reinforcement and the rewarding of hard work and good behavior. I’m shocked that this school isn’t ranked more highly than it is on these platforms. It’s a tremendous place. Close Quote

This is year is my daughter's second year at DSA. I have nothing but good things to say about the teachers and students there. Everyone is always so helpful and happy to be there. My daughter loves going to school everyday. Everyday she came home with something new she learned. Close Quote

Don't be fooled by "A" school. They made my life a living nightmare. My child self esteem was destroyed before I left that school. I had integrity and character concerns with people in the office primarily one of the adminstrators. I would not consider DSA a nuturing environment from my prespective. My child and I was harrased and threatened and ultimately I could not take it anymore nor would I allow him to edure it any longer. I had to take him out of there. Be careful & look out for your children. It is our job to protect them. Close Quote
