We have four kids at Dawson. My two boys in Upper School love that they can play varsity sports as freshman, participate in language immersion trips and tour colleges during Winterm. They also realize the importance of having caring hands on teachers that really want them to do their personal best and are always accessible for help. My middle schooler has gained academic and personal strength and confidence each year she has been in the middle school. The teachers in the MS really "get" kids and help them develop socially and academically. My lower schooler is not sure what she really likes. Dawson gives her the safe and encouraging environment to climb out of her comfort zone and explore things she did not think she would enjoy. Dawson is a school that is continually striving to adapt to this ever-changing world. They implement new and important teaching strategies each year. I am confidant that what my kids are learning at Dawson will stay with them long after they graduate.
