DAA High School offers 25 college preparatory, 25 International Baccalaureate (most at higher and standard levels), and 26 Advanced Placement courses. The variety of DAA’s core courses combined with over 45 electives allows high school students to pursue their interests while preparing for post-secondary success.
Details of DAA’s academic programs and course offerings can be found in the 2026/27 DAA High School Program of Studies and on the DAA High School Course Catalog.
New high school students select their courses through a form, sent in mid-April. Students who join DAA after April 15th will receive course selection information within two weeks of enrollment at DAA. Information sessions will be held to support parents and students in selecting courses for the next academic year. Please note that while student’s course requests (submitted via the course selection form) will be used to create a provisional schedule, student’s final transcript from their previous school is required to create an official schedule. Please ensure that final transcripts are sent to the school registrar and high school counseling offices no later than two weeks prior to the first day of school.
