The philosophy of DESA is to offer students a comprehensive, arts integrated, instructional program in a structured setting. Emphasis is placed on high academic and performing arts standards. We are preparing our students to be interview and audition ready at all times. The dress and appearance of the students should always be neat and proper, as it reflects both home and school.
