About

It is said, “Knowledge is power.” But the mere acquisition of information can be restricting, at times confusing, and ultimately futile if not used judiciously, responsibly, and appropriately.  Understanding one’s limitless potential and striving for his/her highest development physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually is the hallmark of true education. Durham School of Health and Nutrition (DSHN) offers more than a professional designation. It offers an experience of inspired learning and purposeful living guided by the wisdom and high ideals of a Christian philosophy.

DSHN is committed to educational excellence, professionalism, accountability, integrity, and respect for all life. We provide strategic learning opportunities through a comprehensive curriculum that is academically advanced, scientifically sound, practical in its applications, interactive in its methods of teaching, integrative in scope, and innovative and inspired in its global vision.

Founded in 2012, DSHN was established by the late Sandra (Sandy) Grant, whose vision was rooted in the belief that education should empower individuals to live with purpose, compassion, and responsibility. Sandy Grant’s legacy is reflected in DSHN’s enduring commitment to holistic education—one that integrates faith, knowledge, and service. Her dedication to nurturing the whole person continues to guide the institution’s mission, shaping a learning environment where students are encouraged not only to achieve professional excellence, but also to contribute meaningfully to the well-being of their communities and the world at large.
