We were in the patio area, as we waited to be called and go inside their auditorium, it's not that big, but very well done, with comfortable chairs, nice sound system and plenty of space for the group of people we went on Saturday. The school representatives were so nice with all of us. I asked one of the school student's volunteer for the restroom and she took me there. The restrooms were spotless and with ample space. Thank you for having us. Esta revisión se basa en una visita que tuvimos a esta escuela para la competencia de coro HS en marzo de 2018. Me impresionó lo impecable que es esta escuela, todo organizado y las comodidades de buen tamaño.

The…read moreschool offers amazing programs: Cambridge, Fire fighters, nursing, JrOTC, and physical therapy. The teachers and staff have been communicative with me as far as helping my daughter and I make this transition to not only a public school but high school. I have been out to the school on different occasion and the crowd of students just doesn't do it for me. My daughter was already forced into an altercation, luckily nothing happened. I'm still trying to figure out if the administration really cares when parents are not around or is it just a front. They have had PSAT nights, senior year info night and a lot of other informative information but you have to be diligent to find out constantly logging in to the schools website. This school has all types of sports so that's a plus including drivers ed. I'm not sure if I will keep her here so I'll definitely keep updating my review as the time comes.

The DASH Fence by designer Marc Newson is a 100-ft fence installation at the Design & Architecture High School (DASH), creating a compelling environmental structure in the heart of the Miami Design District. Based conceptually on waves, the design consists of a thin metal frame of 400 vertical fins of varying depths that create a series of changing patterns. The appearance of the fence shifts based on point of view--up close, the fence allows a full view into and out from the DASH courtyard. However, from a distance, the surface becomes fully opaque and appears to undulate as the viewer passes by.

I love the fact that Yelp offers the category for education. Before I start my review I would like…read moreto state that I want to go back to High School again. But here, not at the school I did go to. I would have done anything to go to a school like this. The Design & Architecture Senior High, or DASH as its commonly known, not to be confused with the store on the beach is a Magnet school for Industrial, Fashion and Graphic Design, Filmaking and of course, Architecture. Located in Miami's Design District, it is for those kids who are creative and free thinkers. If I could give this school ten stars it would deserve every one, but I am limited to five. DASH creates an environment where young minds are not only encouraged but expected to grow, think and create. Art and design surround you every step you take throughout the school, even in the languages and science classrooms, each and every one of these educators understand the importance of developing the mind through creativity. To encourage problem solving, freethinking and art through uncommon ways. The question posed to these kids commonly is "why?" They must think and are encouraged to find the reasoning behind things instead of it getting spoon fed to them. Most of these children not only are artistic in a visual way but their creative side will expand to music as well, its an everyday event to hear music during breaks throughout the school as they play the piano in the cafeteria or bring their guitars. It is a school full of educators that understand the importance of individuality and expression, and they have the freedom to use instead of being boxed into one type of educational zombie march. I mean, where else during a fire alarm testing as the irritating flashing light interferes with the class (knowing its NOT a real alarm of course) would a teacher turn the lights off and put on disco music and lets the kids enjoy those 5 minutes? Before anyone goes thinking this school is all about having fun and games, know this: Dash is ranked by US News & World Report as the #15 school in the nation. As a Magnet it is number TWO in the country, it is the number one Magnet school in Florida. Over all other Magnet Schools in the city. So think about that for a second. This is based on academics, so know that the education couldn't be better. What DASH understands which the educational system in Florida and the USA is sadly missing the point on is that creativity does help critical thinking, art does help children learn by forcing their minds to expand and therefore see problems differently and teaches them to think for themselves. For anyone out there thinking we need to cut costs by cutting music and art, take a long hard look at this school and try to make your point. You won't have one.
