Grade K-6 students new to the DCA/BVA will be provided with an Orientation via the Brandywine Virtual Academy (BVA).  

***Beginning in the 2025-2026 School Year, students in Grades 7-8 who join will also be served via the BVA.

Grades 7-12 students new to the DCA will be provided an orientation slide deck with a brief student assessment that they must complete before beginning any coursework.

Are you a new parent/guardian of a Grade 7-12 DCA student? We've created this  onboarding presentation that guides students and parents through some important tasks in Schoology, Infinite Campus, and Zoom. 

We strongly encourage students and their families to review this entire orientation presentation prior to starting in the DCA!
