This school has a great community and most of the teachers are very attentive. However, the clubs and sports could be stronger and it could offer more academic programs (for example, it advertises many APs that sometimes do not run depending on the year). It's a beautiful building but sometimes I think that the administration is more concerned with the school's aesthetic than with funding the student activities. College guidance is average at best, despite it being a very small school. If you are applying to more than 12 schools, you are required to pay Dominican Academy $35 for each additional school on top of the application fee. (for example, pay DA $70 when applying to 2 additional schools)
I absolutely love DA! Whenever I have an issue on my work I can always reach out to the teachers and they're happy to meet before or after school to explain. One time I had a family issue and missed a couple of days of school and when I came back, all the teachers welcomed me and made sure I got notes and work that I had missed. The students are also amazing and supportive as well. I may have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, especially on Mondays, but once I'm at school, the warm atmosphere is enjoyable to be in. One small issue I have is that 1 or 2 of the teachers can't always be reached by email and that can get frustrating occasionally. However, I truly do love being at DA, and I highly recommend it!
I am a Junior at Dominican Academy, and I can say with certainty that Dominican Academy was the best school for me. I am sure that are people who are not suited to it, but for the majority of people who attend, Dominican Academy provides an ideal environment in a charming New York townhouse with caring teachers and stellar academics, that will challenge them constructively. I highly recommend this school to girls who are serious about a healthy balance between work and making meaningful, lasting friendships. I have made friends here that I will cherish for years to come. Although the school has undergone many changes (physical and administrative) since my arrival, I have confidence that the school still offers the great things that I experienced. Do research; DA won't work for people who want to make it something it is not. It does not have a gym, it has dance class. Please don't attend with incorrect assumptions and then give it bad reviews when it wasn't what you were looking for.
