This is a glorified public school at best with a private school tuition. There is no real education or learning happening inside the classrooms. There is a lot of lecture, but no hands-on teaching or faculty working with students to understand concepts or correct their errors or do better. None of that what so ever. No real art or sports program. Most of the the kids seem emotionally beat down and withdrawn. The upside to dcd is the diversity and they will let any child into their school.

We are first year parents. Everyone has been terrific. My children are coming form middle-of-the-road public schools. They come home very excited every single day.

This is my son's 4th year at DCD and my family loves the community of this wonderful school. DCD is a warm and welcoming school where a child will stand out. My son knows so many other students from different grades. As a parent I enjoy every interactions with staffs, faculties and administration, they are so authentic. I can write on and on about DCD but just know the moment you step foot in the building you can definitely feel the warm welcome.

Absolutely love DCD. It has been a home away from home for my three kids, who all started there in PreK. I was hesitant about the whole independent school world in general, as I attended strong public schools growing up and always figured I'd raise my kids in a suburb of Boston with a great public (...

I love DCD because it is a private school that really focuses on keeping their students grounded in the real world. The kids that graduate understand their privileged station in life and are ready to take on the world!

DCD has been everything we had hoped for our son, and more. We have good public schools, so moving him was a tough decision. But he needed a different learning environment in order to truly show what he can do and grow into his own strengths. Public school only asked him to do what he didn’t do well...
