"For the past five years, the Dawson School has been our partner in educating our daughters. The combination of Dawson’s elevated academic expectations, interactive learning opportunities, dedicated teachers, small class sizes, beautiful campus, safe environment, and tight-knit community cultivates an atmosphere where our daughters can excel intellectually, socially, and emotionally."
