Back-to-school alternatives:
Dida Academy
According to Dida’s cofounder, Danielle Denver, the hybrid homeschooling model offers maximum freedom and versatility for young people and their families, enabling students to attend from two days a week up to five days if they choose. “I love the homeschooling framework,” Denver told me, “because it allows us to unbundle different educational services and have an à la carte structure that works well for families.
Denver explains that because all Dida students are registered as homeschoolers, they are not tied to a traditional school schedule or curriculum. These adolescents can spend part of their time at Dida and part of their time taking other classes throughout the city, participating in apprenticeships, attending community college courses or traveling with their families.
