Parents of students in grades 4 and 6 at DAA
"Our children are resilient, but a move to a new city, and a new school, can be extremely stressful. We have been so happy, and so fortunate, that DAA has provided such a welcoming, family environment to our kids. They needed to feel part of a community, and somehow even with a large population, our boys have been able to connect very closely to their grade community, their level community, and the overall DAA family."
