We're looking for talented teammates
Are you a teacher who loves working with students in a modern and non-traditional program? Or perhaps you're a trainer who has experience training student athletes? We're looking for you!
Dehesa Method Sports Academy (DMSA) is a tuition-free school designed specifically for San Diego area student athletes. Students attend school onsite in El Cajon Monday - Thursday, where they get small group instruction in the classroom, and personalized sport-specific training on the field or on the court. Fridays are online school days, allowing students to travel and meet other team and training commitments.
Student athletes require flexibility to reach their full academic and athletic potential. That's where we come in. At DMSA, students attend class and train athletically Monday through Thursday each week in person, at our Dehesa campus, 15 minutes from downtown El Cajon. Fridays are open for online studies and athletic commitments. Lunch and transportation (if needed) are provided Monday through Thursday each week.
DMSA offers sport-specific training for baseball, softball, soccer and football. With more on the way, including mountain biking!
Our academics are powered by top drawer pro teachers and powerful curriculum by SmartFox. Our training is handled by professionals who know what it takes to help student athletes reach their potential. Through Dehesa School District and Method Schools, WASC accredited, featuring UC a-g and NCAA approved courses.
"I grew up mountain biking. During middle school and high school, I used to sit in class frustrated, knowing that by the time I got out of school it would be close to dark. To me, a more flexible school schedule made sense. But back then, we didn't have options like students do now.
Enabled by online learning and the flexibility of independent study, schools for athletes (and anyone who prefers a more flexible school experience) have come a long way. I couldn't be more excited to share Dehesa Method Sports Academy (DMSA) with students in the San Diego area."
-Mark Holley, co-founder of Method Schools, SmartFox K-12, & DMSA
We provide a dynamic and supportive school environment for student athletes that enables them to become resilient leaders both in the classroom and on the field.
Dehesa Method Sports Academy is a unique partnership between a school district (Dehesa School District) and a network of charter schools (Method Schools). Our philosophy is simple: to leverage our strengths and resources to provide the optimal public school program for San Diego K-12 students.
Over the years, we've been successful because we always put students first. We work hard to earn the trust of our students, their parents, and our other stakeholders.

In some public schools I have been to out of the 6 hours of class time we would have 2 hours would be working on work and the other 4 hour would be waiting. In method we get straight to the point and don't waste time. you can also work at your own speed. I do have a couple of people i have recommended method to. Most of them have been interested.
