College Counseling
Finding the "perfect fit" school for each student is the mission of the college counseling program. Durham Academy's three full-time college counselors, Jazmin Garcia Smith, Katie McEnroe and Christopher Briggs, are at the heart of its success.
Durham Academy is a member of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), an organization of secondary school counselors and college admission officers. DA is also a member of the Southern Association for College Admission Counseling (SACAC).
DA affirms the NACAC Statement of Principles of Good Practice (SPGP), a code of ethical conduct that articulates the responsibilities of college members and secondary school members. In addition, DA affirms NACAC's Statement of Students' Rights and Responsibilities in the College Admission Process.
