Amazing school - teachers are caring and very talented educators. The outdoor classroom and nature-based playground and nature education are huge bonuses, plus lots of different after school activities.

We have loved Dondero. Our daughter is in her third year there and she’s made great friendships, had wonderful teachers and has loved her time there so far. They have a large emphasis on outdoor learning, the nature playground is wonderful!
