The Dunham School offers an exceptional experience with outstanding academics, a vibrant array of clubs, and top-notch sports programs. The only drawback is the higher cost, but the investment in your child's education and overall development is undoubtedly worthwhile."

When your middle schooler can't wait to go to school, you know you've struck gold. Beyond that, that gleam aka "eye of the tiger" is back after transferring schools. The way the kids are helped with focus is nothing short of amazing, with the added bonus of being able to develop friendships to last a lifetime with other Christian kids. Dunham was fully prepared to exceptionally educate EVEN through a worldwide pandemic. Nothing bad to say here.

Money, money, money, this school will try and get every dollar out of your pocket. I advise parents to look somewhere like Episcopal. When my kid attended all they wanted from me was donations. Don't by into this trap people. This school doesn't care about you or your child. This school disguises itself as a "loving Christian school" but in reality, that's not the case. They just want more money from you and it's a disgrace. God would be ashamed.
