The DCSA Academic program offers students age 10+ a hybrid-schooling environment to meet their academic goals. This program was created to fill the gap when between regular, brick and mortar school to homeschooling. We offer a variety of state-of-the-art virtual school programs that adapt to the needs of young individuals that are involved in rigorous, pre-professional extra curricular activities.
This program takes the burden from homeschooling guardians, as our Academic Coach ensures students maintain their academic timeline and achieve comprehension and grades that will allow these students to later pursue a university or college of their choice.
The strong curriculum allows them to develop excellent preparation for college, but allows for schedule flexibility so these students can have the best of both worlds - strong academics and time for high profile extra-curricular activities.
It requires minimum involvement of parents as our our Academic Coach supports students so they can be academically successful and wonderful college candidates.
This program can work for any student not well-served in a traditional brick-and-mortar school, too, not just dancers.
This program benefits any student not well-served in traditional school and is not limited to just dancers. It offers:
flexible schooling hours
accredited virtual education programs with acceptances to top colleges and universities
accelerated schooling options
daily, 1-on-1 support from the Academic Coordinator Lisa Dunne
great environment for those with academic challenges due to learning differences (Tuition-free public virtual school options available with accommodation support for students with learning differences.)
