Digital Safari
The Digital Safari Academy @ Mt. Diablo High School in Concord, CA is a three year college and career program beginning in the sophomore year of high school. The goal of the DSA is the integration of multimedia design with the core curriculum through integrated, project based learning. Though the DSA is a program oriented toward new media design, our core academic courses provide the focus for all learning and, ultimately, all design. In the DSA you’ll find the focus is squarely on students, knowledge, and relevance.
All DSA courses are rigorous, challenging and designed to prepare every student for post-secondary education. Currently, DSA teach’s three multimedia courses inside the Digital Safari. Through the completion of complex academic projects, students work towards mastery of skills in graphic design, desktop publishing, animation, interactive authoring, photography, sound and video production, 3D design and presentation software. Additionally, the nature of the project-based-learning environment gives students a variety of experiences in project planning, management of people and resources, working with clients and meeting hard deadlines.
