Dehesa Method Sports Academy (DMSA) is a tuition-free public school designed specifically for San Diego area student athletes. Students attend school onsite in El Cajon (Dehesa area) every 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.
The good news? It’s popular. Really popular, in fact. The bad news? We’ve run out of spots for the new school year (2024-25). However, we do have options, including:
We’re working closely with Dehesa School District and other influential area partners to secure additional long-term facility space, which will allow us to continue to expand and serve more San Diego-area student athletes.
Student athletes require flexibility to reach their full academic and athletic potential. And as THE school for San Diego student athletes, that's where we come in.
