Our
Curriculum
Divine Savior Academy has a multi-faceted curriculum to meet the needs of its students. Students meet with counselors and administrators to determine a schedule that best fits both their academic and collegiate goals.
College-prep Classes: Every class at DSA is designated a college-prep class, meaning every course in our curriculum is designed to prepare students for the rigors of the college classroom.
Honors-level Classes: The next tier of our college-prep curriculum is the honors level. These classes challenge students with a deeper level of independent work, research, and projects. Students receive a weighted GPA for honors coursework.
Advanced Placement courses are modeled after college courses and are taught by teachers who are certified by the College Board. At the conclusion of an AP class, students take a college-level exam. Advanced Placement courses are recognized by most 2- and 4-year colleges around the world. Students who successfully pass an AP exam may qualify for college credit or advanced placement at the college level and demonstrate to admissions officers that they are prepared for the rigors of college. Students may participate in the Advanced Placement program at DSA by taking individual classes, becoming AP Scholars, or enrolling in the AP Capstone program.
Project Lead the Way is the nation’s leading provider of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs. This challenging STEM curriculum is project-based to encourage critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration while engaging learners in exciting and relevant content. STEM classes
are taught by certified instructors in DSA’s state-of-the-art STEM lab.
Dual Enrollment at four colleges: Florida International University, Bethany Lutheran College, Martin Luther College, and Miami Dade College.
