Mission and Philosophy



Dunn cherishes and cultivates individual talents in a safe, nurturing and challenging environment

Mission


As a college preparatory school with a focus on cultivating scholarship, leadership, teamwork, and compassion amongst its students, Dunn School is committed to:
  • Developing each individual's academic and personal potential
  • Building self confidence and character
  • Fostering individual and collective excellence
  • Educating students for success in college and beyond

Philosophy


Dunn offers a broad program of academics, athletics, arts, outdoor education, and community service within a diverse community of students, faculty, and staff. The depth and quality of the relationship between students and teachers is central to our process of education. Small class size promotes one-to-one communication and rapport between teacher and student, which best stimulates the desire to learn. Through this one-to-one communication and our advisor program, our dedicated faculty commits to the guidance and support of the personal and academic growth of each individual entrusted to our care.

When potential students visit Dunn, they often feel a palpable, real sense of community. This is because Dunn students and faculty live, eat, and work together supportively, drawing out the best in each other. Our school community is built around fundamental values of honesty, trust, and mutual respect — values that help each student find his or her place with the community. Together, students and faculty commit to the highest standards in our personal and academic lives, giving each student the opportunity to be both an effective learner and leader.
