Welcome

Dear Student,

I was you not so very long ago. Our desire to make a difference in this world is probably similar. Luckily, I was introduced to dental assisting and I fell in love with it many years ago. Little did I know that dental assisting was going to be such a rewarding career with a ton of potential. 

As a mother of five daughters and as an instructor, it is my passion to encourage you to step out and achieve your dreams. I believe that each of us has a calling and a purpose in life. At D.A. Academy of North Carolina, it’s our mission to help you find your purpose. 

I, along with our instructors look forward to welcoming you to our innovative and unique course in dental assisting. We offer a course designed to give you the skills necessary to start your new career, at a minimum cost of time and expense. Our enrollment process is easy and we will guide you every step of the way.

You are smart enough and you are good enough. Don’t let fear or doubt stand in your way. I’m sure glad that I didn’t. Trust me, if I can do it, you can too! 

Are you ready to change your life?
