DURHAM SCHOOL OF THE ARTS

 

Welcome to the Durham School of the Arts

Magnet School! 

 

We are quite a unique school, as we offer both a stellar arts curriculum and rigorous academics.  We believe that the arts represent a symbolic, universal form of communication and are therefore, fundamental to a quality education.

 

Here are a few other important things to know about our school beliefs:

We believe-

  • Students use various intelligences that must be recognized and nurtured in developmentally appropriate ways 
  • A safe and secure school climate is an essential precondition for learning
  • An atmosphere that fosters independence and exploration is essential for the development of creative thinking
  • An environment of encouragement and support to express differing points of view, and the subsequent critical examination of their significance, promote dialogue, respect, and understanding

On behalf of the entire faculty of DSA, we welcome all of our parents and students to our school community.  We look forward to having a wonderful school year!
