Growing with Doral
Divine Savior Academy
By Dana Kirchoff
Located within the rapidly growing City of Doral, Divine Savior Academy has an incredible story of growth to match its surroundings. In 2004, Divine Savior Academy opened its doors with 26 students. Just ten years later, the school has nearly 600 students enrolled in PreK3 to 12th grade. This May, DSA broke ground for its third building project: a stand-alone high school on property that adjoins its current campus. The new building will open for the 2015-2016 school year. With over 88,000 square feet of additional educational space, the high school will have 23 classrooms, 4 science labs, tiered lecture rooms, an outdoor classroom, a full size high school gymnasium, a weight room, media center, chess room, dance studio, art rooms, music labs and much more. Added outdoor facilities include four tennis courts, a soccer field, additional parking and more playground space. The fact that the community of Doral is growing attributes to the Academy’s growth, but so do other important factors. Divine Savior Academy is the only private Christian academy located in Doral. A fully accredited school, the Academy prides itself on its rigorous, college-prep curriculum, its well-trained teachers, and its welcoming, family atmosphere. “DSA is a special place. There is a sense of community here that I haven’t encountered anywhere else. Teachers, families, and administration all work together to ensure that every student grows academically, socially and spiritually,” comments School Superintendent Carlos Leyrer. This mindset is Divine Savior Academy’s mission and has paved the way for its incredible story of growth. Looking toward the future, Divine Savior is committed to continuous growth in its facilities, programs, and most importantly in the future of its students.
