Dawson Virtual & In-Person Tours

Dawson School Admissions office is open and accepting inquiries for the 2022-23 school year.

Please join us - virtually or in person - and experience what makes Dawson so special. Appointments available now.

Every child is different - and so is every school. We know that in any circumstance, what is best for your child is always foremost in your mind -- perhaps today more than ever.

Dawson is the Boulder region's premier K-12 independent school. Even as we are in these extraordinary times, Dawson invites you to 'visit' us; we welcome the opportunity to show you how Dawson can help your student thrive.

Our school visit and tours typically take place when school is in session so that guests can see the Dawson Difference in action on our remarkable campus. At this time, Dawson is engaged in remote learning, so we invite you to click here and contact us to arrange a virtual visit.

The visit will include:
* A one-on-one meeting with one of our Admissions Directors who will provide information on our program.
* A short presentation on division(s) of interest to your family.
* A visual tour of Dawson.
* Ample time for us to answer questions and provide details specific to your family.

Please contact us today to schedule an appointment. We look forward to hearing from you!
