You want the best for your child. So do we.

At The Dunham School, we believe in educating both the mind and the heart for Christ. Our mission is to provide a college preparatory education that is rooted in Christian values, where students are challenged academically and inspired to live a life of purpose and service. We invite you to join us on a journey to equip the next generation of leaders with the knowledge, skills, and faith they need to succeed and make a positive impact on the world. Our admissions team would be delighted to visit and walk through the enrollment process with you.

We encourage you to begin the admissions process by scheduling a campus visit to meet with our director of enrollment management and receive a personal tour. If you would prefer to schedule a virtual admissions meeting, please email our office.

When you visit, you’ll find intentionally small classes, where a blend of traditional and innovative teaching is combined with the latest technology to ignite creativity and intellectual curiosity. You’ll discover expert teachers who treasure each child as the individual he or she was created to be and challenging academic, athletic, arts, and leadership programs designed to enable students to meet their God-given potential now and in the future.

Admissions Process

The Dunham School seeks to enroll students who demonstrate the academic ability, character, and potential to successfully complete our college preparatory program and make a positive contribution to our school community.

Admission to Dunham is both selective and thoughtful, with careful consideration given to a candidate's character, previous academic record, recommendations, and performance on admissions testing. Please note that we rarely admit incoming seniors except in the cases of relocation, returning students or other extenuating circumstances.

The Dunham School does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender, or national origin in its educational programs, admission policies, scholarships, or any of its school activities.
