Hand down with my experience at Dunham and my son's education. My Son's is a smart boys and needed academic challenge since 2nd grade and The Dunham School provided that and still provide classes for him that will challanege him. So much to offer beyond academic: sport, robotic, theater, music, foreign language and beyond.

The best part of my experience was the feeling of community and connectedness in the school, while the worst was the lack of diversity.

Dunham was a really great school with great christian ethics. When I first attended Dunham I was a really silent, and to myself person. As grew there I realized that I was a great person and no matter what other people think I am still myself. This lead me to become comfortable with my surrounding, and become more outgoing and hardworking.
