Working with Schools & Institutions
The Deep Scholastic Assessment partners with schools, educational institutions, and learning organizations worldwide to help students demonstrate their academic depth and readiness for higher education.
We believe that meaningful assessment works best when it's supported by educators who understand their students. Our partnership program is designed to make DSA accessible, well-supported, and seamlessly integrated into your students' academic journey.
Partner institutions can help their students register for DSA exams, ensuring accurate information and timely enrollment. This is especially valuable for schools with large numbers of students or those who prefer coordinated registration processes.
Qualified institutions may host DSA examinations at their own facilities, providing students with a familiar and convenient testing environment.
Schools and counselors play a vital role in helping students choose appropriate DSA subjects that align with their academic strengths and university aspirations.
Partner institutions receive access to preparation materials, sample questions, and curriculum alignment guides to help students succeed.
Secondary schools, international schools, and pre-university colleges that want to offer DSA as part of their academic program or as an option for interested students.
Organizations that advise students on academic planning, university applications, and standardized testing.
Academic support organizations that help students prepare for assessments and strengthen subject knowledge.
Colleges and universities interested in recognizing DSA for admissions consideration or course placement.

Yes. Students always have the option to register directly through the DSA website. School partnership simply provides an additional, coordinated pathway for students who prefer it.
No. Partners support DSA in different ways. Some focus on registration coordination, others on test hosting, and others on preparation. You can participate in the ways that make sense for your institution.
