Our son attended 7-12 at Dunn School as a local day student. Dunn changed his life and was pivotal in helping create an extraordinary human. The whole student approach is deep, genuine and long lasting. Day in & day out - Dunn is committed to see your student for ALL of who they are - the good & the bad. They never stop developing every aspect of your child - intellectually, physically, emotionally. They teach their students how to handle adversity, complex issues and to think outside of all the boxes. Our son is now going off to Stanford fully prepared to to connect with & impact his world. A PRICELESS education.

Great curriculum and great preparation for college. Teachers are wonderful and are happy to help if you need extra support.

I found that the staff and teachers at the school are there to watch the students succeed and to give any possible aid in order to make that happen. They create a supportive environment for students to learn and grow. I was also able to participate in many clubs, committees, sports, and student government. Even starting my own clubs and committees as I got older. I really enjoyed my time at Dunn and it became my home for the five years I boarded on campus.

My child is thriving at this school and I can't say enough positive things about it. What a truly special environment to explore your passions, be exposed to a world-class curriculum by caring and dedicated teachers, and have the college outcomes to show for all the hard work.

In my opinion, Dunn School is not a good place to send your student. Having worked at the school and having my child enrolled as well, I can speak from various points of view. The leadership is terrible, the culture within the staff/faculty is the worst I've ever experienced. Most of the students ar...

No school is without faults or tradeoffs but if what you want is a safe place for your teenagers to blossom and discover their potential and discover the world, Dunn is a great place for this.

Terrible. There's no supervision. The children that lie with the most conviction are the ones that skate through this school. Your child will learn to lie and manipulate. If they don't know how to lie and manipulate now they will learn from the best.
