DeKalb School of the Arts (DSA) is a public performing arts magnet school in DeKalb County, Georgia, United States, east of the city of Atlanta. It is a part of the DeKalb County School District, as well as a member of the Arts Schools Network.

DeKalb School of the Arts is located at 1192 Clarendon Avenue, Avondale Estates, Georgia 30002.

DeKalb School of the Arts began in 1985 under the direction of Richard Leitgeb and became the DeKalb Center for the Performing Arts, a magnet program housed at Avondale High School. In 1999 it was established as a separate entity and became the DeKalb School of the Arts, and in 2002 it moved into the former Briarcliff High School. After eight years at its independent location, DeKalb School of the Arts moved back into the Avondale High School building in August 2009. Since the closure of Avondale High School in 2011, DSA has occupied half of its old campus, sharing it with the DeKalb County School District's Registration, School Choice and Records departments. In the winter of 2020 the school district abruptly decided to drop the eighth grade class from DSA. Starting in August 2021 the school only has grades 9–12.

Every student at the school has a major and a minor. They must take three courses in their major and two courses in their minor. The arts majors are: creative writing, dance, drama, film & digital media, instrumental music (band and orchestra), tech theater, visual arts, and vocal music. In addition, students must earn twenty production credits every year through school performances or helping produce school performances.
