By supporting Dawson through the Annual Fund, the Vehicle Donation Program or the Commemorative Brick Program, every student, every day, has opportunities not available through tuition alone.
Families choose Dawson because it provides an outstanding education for students at every level. Lower, middle, and upper school students participate in small classes taught by nationally recruited faculty members. All Dawson students enjoy a rich program unmatched by any other in the area. With a student-faculty ratio of 6:1, students are challenged in a personal and individual way.
Lower School Students learn a foreign language and computer skills, create amazing art, and participate in a wide array of P.E. activities in addition to their core academic curriculum – all in a nurturing yet challenging environment.
Middle School Students are challenged academically and supported in their social emotional learning as they prepare for their futures as Dawson Upper School students.
Upper School Students participate in a rigorous, well-rounded college prep program that ensures they are well prepared for the responsibilities of college life.
With SAT scores that are the highest of any school in the area (and competitive with the best schools in the country!), Dawson students are accepted at the finest colleges and universities.
Since tuition covers only 90% of a Dawson education, like all other independent schools, colleges, and universities, the school relies on the generosity of all its supporters.
