Students at DMA enjoy a liberal arts education in an environment that is conducive to the formation of the whole person. DMA’s purpose is to cultivate wisdom and virtue by nourishing the souls of our students on all that is true, good and beautiful. As such, the goal of a DMA education is not a collection of curricular accomplishments, but the formation students need so that they are better able to attain the noble end for which they were created – to know, love, and serve God.

Our curriculum interweaves traditional subjects including history, literature, math, science, catechism, grammar, logic and fine arts. Students journey through a historical era each year (rotating as a school through Ancient, Roman, Medieval and Modern eras) which unites their studies across all subjects.

To attend the mind, body and soul, we also include physical education, regular whole school enrichment activities, daily communal prayer, and Mass three times a week. Combined classrooms allow for the building up of community as well as flexibility for the specific academic needs of students. During the school day students are taught to look for God in everything and approach life and learning with wonder and awe.
