FEATURED STORY 
Return to Interactive Learning Environments in Elementary

September, 2021
In the 2019-2020 academic year, the Elementary School classrooms were transformed into flexible classroom spaces to support the personalized learning of our students. These micro-environments were based on the notion of interactive learning environments (ILEs), where students can move around freely, apply themselves, connect with a diverse group of peers and take ownership of their learning. For this academic year, we are pleased to announce the return to these learning spaces, which encourage critical thought, creativity and collaboration, all while maintaining social distance protocols.

The DAA Community

  • Faizal and Safeena

    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."

    “The parent involvement is one of the reasons we are at DAA. There is such a feeling of transparency and real feedback about your kids. You feel a sense of belonging to the school community and we are proud of this”
