The Divine Word Academy of Dagupan (DWAD) is a private, Catholic, basic education institution run by the Philippine Northern Province of the Society of the Divine Word in Dagupan, Philippines. It was founded by the Divine Word Missionaries in 1957. It is one of the few schools in the Philippines that offer an education in Chinese culture in addition to the regular curricula required by the Department of Education (Philippines) and by private schools, in combination with the ideals of a Catholic education.

The academy is under the direction of the Divine Word Missionaries and was primarily established for the benefit of the Catholics of Chinese descent residing in Dagupan and the province of Pangasinan. The school equally welcomes all children regardless of race, color and religious creed.

The school’s director is Rev. Fr. Aljiovanie R. Abrasado, SVD.
