Athletic Program 

Detroit Academy of Arts & Sciences encourages students to participate on athletic teams.  Participation in athletics encourages students to build teamwork and leadership skills.  Additionally, our Athletic program boosts school spirit which ultimately improves the school climate and culture.  In the upcoming school years, we plan to expand our Athletic program to include: Baseball, Volleyball, and Softball.  We look forward to building what we would hope to be one of the best Athletic Programs in the state of Michigan.  We will continue the process of helping our student-athletes become successful both in the classroom and in the athletic arena.
