    Durham Academy’s magazine was first published in 1974. The annual publication features articles written by various members of the DA community, including faculty, staff, administrators, alumni and students.

    The preparation of students for moral, happy, productive lives — as DurhamAcademy's 53-year-old mission assures — looks different today than it did 20 years ago, or even five years ago. To continue living up to its promise of educational excellence, DA is enhancing academic curricula in every division. 

    And, guided by our Strategic Vision, the school is embracing changes and policies that center student wellness, better care for our planet, and create a more just and equitable learning environment for all students.

    Read about it in the latest issue of Durham Academy Magazine.
