Upper School computer science teacher Julian Cochran tackles the adventure of a lifetime through Durham Academy's faculty sabbatical program.

DA partnered with the Triangle Nonprofit and Volunteer Leadership Center for the fall 2021 Senior Service Project.

A flexible design-thinking process will help infuse the spirit and the practice of incremental, iterative improvement in our students, our faculty and our school.

A new year can be an opportunity to make more sustainable choices and to spend more time immersed in nature. It can also be an opportunity to learn about the long-lasting environmental and societal impacts of choices made in decades past, as participants in the most recent Durham Academy sustainability seminar learned this fall. The seminar was organized as a partnership of two committees of Upper School Student Government: Sustainability and R.A.I.S.E. (Raising Awareness for Inclusion and Social Equity). 

The Class of 2021 was able to take advantage of the limitations of the pandemic and worked together to learn more about the community in which they live, even though they had to do so remotely.

Seventh-graders write about something they feel passionately about using poetic devices.
