Dawson School is the region’s premier K-12 independent school, offering challenging college-preparatory academics, robust athletics and arts programs as well as renowned outdoor and experiential education. We are a community of students, faculty and families who are passionate about education. The school’s 107-acre campus, exceptional teachers, small class sizes and outstanding facilities provide a unique learning environment that supports the community’s 490 students. Dawson lays a solid academic, social and emotional foundation that supports the realization of each student’s potential and ultimately prepares students to savor life and to meet the challenges of the world. Students are consistently encouraged to try new things and to test their comfort zones: Dawson not only engages students, it ignites passions in them as well. Dawson emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and clear expression. Program highlights include a student / faculty ratio of 7:1, 13 team sports, 20 arts program options, 72 percent of faculty with advanced degrees, 10 hours of specials weekly in Lower School, 1:1 iPads starting in 5th grade, leadership and character education, an involved parent community, and a 45-year history of success. Admission at Dawson is rolling and we encourage families to visit campus for a tour and interview.
