Humanities
In our classical curriculum, the humanities guide our studies in all subjects. The exploration of history, literature and art, in light of the Catholic faith, enables students to develop a deep understanding of culture and the human person.
Math and Science
The study of math and science is the discovery of beauty and rational order. Thoughtful learning in these subjects cultivate a habit of analysis and synthesis across all subjects. In conjunction with our other studies, our science and math courses are designed to teach students how to see God in all creation.
Writing and Rhetoric
With grammar and logic also being cultivated, students practice the art of writing and speaking elegantly, persuasively, and with confidence. This enables the development and expression of their knowledge.
Catechesis
DMA seeks to nourish the souls of its students on all that is True, Good and Beautiful. Through a systematic catechesis beginning in kindergarten, students will be armed with a comprehensive understanding of Catholic teaching, sacraments, and virtues, providing a firm foundation from which to discern choices in all areas of their lives. DMA students will have the understanding and courage to take their faith out into the world.
Enrichment
Enrichment activities are important to help students understand the practical applications of classroom studies and how spiritual, mental, and physical growth shape one’s life. As students mature and listen for God’s call, this thoughtful engagement with the world provides an opportunity for vocational discernment and professional pursuits.
