DEVRY ADVANTAGE ACADEMY HIGH SCHL

The DeVry Advantage Academy (DAA) High School is a unique collaborative program located on the DeVry University campus in Chicago. It is a specialized dual-enrollment high school operated in partnership between Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and DeVry University. The primary mission of the school is to provide motivated students with an accelerated path toward higher education by allowing them to earn both a high school diploma and up to 60 college credits—effectively an associate degree—simultaneously, at no cost to the students or their families.

The program is designed for students who are looking for a rigorous, college-focused environment that prioritizes career readiness, particularly in technical and professional fields. By integrating high school curriculum with university-level courses, the academy aims to bridge the gap between secondary education and the workforce. Students at DAA benefit from the university’s facilities and gain early exposure to a professional collegiate environment, preparing them to either enter the workforce with significant credentials or transition seamlessly into a four-year university program upon graduation.
