DSA 2026

@DSAlink I agree. I actually found the English DSA portfolio one of the hardest to prepare because it’s so subjective.
What helped us was not trying to make every piece “perfect”. We included a mix of school work and writing she genuinely enjoyed doing.
The interview is really important too. At the end of the day, they can usually tell whether a piece truly belongs to the student. If your child can talk confidently about why she wrote it the way she did, what she struggled with and what she learnt, I think that carries a lot of weight.

@Faerie77 >>> Hi there, great to hear about your faith in the school ! There might be another tornado change of track coaches in Cedar , for your heads-up! Too many upheavals & risks for my daughter so yes, we will not b putting our eggs in this basket anymore. Anyway, we just received St Nicholas’ invite for DSA interview for track & field scheduled next week. Good luck to everyone ! We are all more than halfway done in this (“Tan-A-Tan”) waiting process !!
