The ALPHA Center

DSHA's ALPHA Center is inspired by university academic centers. The purpose of this structure at DSHA is rooted in a student-centered purpose and vision: to create an environment that provides an enriching community for scholars.

ALPHA focuses on individualized assistance in science, math and English by offering one-on-one instruction from DSHA faculty daily. From their first freshman English paper to their last BC Calculus problem, students are always encouraged to drop-in to ALPHA and take advantage of this world-class academic resource.
