Academics
Families have the ability to choose the distance-learning curriculum best suited to the needs of their individual children with the assistance of the experienced staff. Assessment services are available to accompany many of the curricula. Various curricula are available to support a student's faith, technological aptitude, style of learning, and more.
The Academy provides learning space, Internet access, an academic facilitator, and a conducive environment for individual as well as group study time. Students grow to be self-motivated and well-organized to make the best use of their time.
The academic facilitators oversee students' work, provide direction, teach public speaking, encourage creative problem-solving, and maintain a positive atmosphere for learning. They maintain the schedule of group classes, field trips, and other DAA-related events.
Students provide their own school supplies. Power supplies and wireless Wi-Fi is provided by Dancing Arts Academy. Laptop computers, if required, must be provided by parents.
Grading
Academic grading is the sole discretion of individual families. Most families choose to purchase the assessment option and transcript services provided by their curriculum provider.
Standardized Tests
For a nominal fee, standardized achievement tests may be administered by a certified test provider at DAA in mid-June to those families wanting assessment of their child's strengths and weaknesses based on national norms. For tests administered at other locations, students are excused to participate in standardized testing as determined by the family.
