About DAS Academy
Empowering Communities Through Inclusive Education
Nurturing educators, caregivers, and professionals who support diverse learners.
DAS Academy is a registered Private Education Institution (PEI) under Singapore’s Committee for Private Education (CPE).
Since our incorporation on 19 February 2010, we have become a trusted provider of specialised training for those who journey with children who learn differently.
We empower educators, allied professionals, and caregivers through practice-based, inclusive education programmes. Our work shapes the learning ecosystem within Singapore’s disability and education sector — one learner, one classroom at a time.
Our mission is to build knowledge, inspire confidence, and strengthen the skills of those who journey alongside children with dyslexia and related SEN.
We are proud to collaborate with key government agencies and leading institutes of higher learning, including the Ministry of Education (MOE), National Council of Social Service (NCSS), Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), and the University of South Wales (UK). These partnerships reflect our strong professional standing and shared commitment to inclusive education.
Together, we build a more inclusive future.
