DSA is a small structured school delivering a rigorous, innovative educational program. The first school year (2001-2002) the institution began with grades 6, 7, and 8 with an enrollment of about 250 students. Now, DSA offers high quality education for grades 6 through 12 with an enrollment of about 400 students.
