A Community Built on Belonging

When you join the Durham Academy family, you are joining a community comprising families with roots around the globe — from those with longtime Bull City ties, to those with family members in New York, rural North Carolina and Seoul — bringing with them a rich variety of perspectives and experiences.

Co-ed since our founding in 1933 and one of the first schools to integrate in Durham, DA has committed itself at every level, from the boardroom to the classroom, to the dual pursuit of excellence and diversity. Diversity — in all forms — enriches each classroom lesson, as well as the dinner-table discussions that follow. At Durham Academy, we strive to ensure that all members of our community feel welcomed, empowered, responsible and safe.
