Unlocking Global Opportunities with Round Square

Dunn School is proud to be a member of the Round Square network, a global community of more than 200 schools in 50 countries united by a commitment to character education and experiential learning.

At Dunn, we emphasize Whole Student Education, guided by our five pillars: Emotional Wellness, Physical Readiness, Intellectual Growth, Social Responsibility, and Moral Courage. This philosophy aligns seamlessly with Round Square's IDEALS: Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership, and Service.

Expanding Horizons Through International Student Exchange

Our membership in Round Square opens up a world of opportunities for our students. One of the most exciting benefits is the ability to participate in international student exchanges. Dunn students have the chance to immerse themselves in different cultures, languages, and educational systems, enhancing their global perspective and fostering personal growth.

Imagine exploring the vibrant landscapes of South Africa, experiencing the rich history of Germany, or immersing yourself in the dynamic culture of Colombia. These are just a few of the destinations our students have visited through our exchange program. The experiences gained from these exchanges are invaluable, providing students with a broader worldview and preparing them for active, engaged global citizenship.

Building Lifelong Connections

Within months of joining the Round Square network, Dunn School established a relationship with a partner school in Germany. This quickly led to student exchanges, with Dunn welcoming an international student and sending one of our own abroad. As our network of connections grows, so do the opportunities for our students. Exchanges to Canada, South Africa, and many other countries are on the horizon, each offering unique and enriching experiences.

Embracing Global Citizenship

Being a part of Round Square is more than just academic exchanges; it's about equipping students with the skills and experiences needed to thrive in a globalized world. Through these exchanges, students learn the importance of internationalism, democracy, environmental stewardship, adventure, leadership, and service. They return with a deeper understanding of these IDEALS, ready to contribute positively to their communities and beyond.

Global Leadership

Dunn students Tanner R., Adi K., and Jaime R. had the chance to explore Nairobi, Kenya, while attending the 55th Annual Round Square International Conference. Their journey included a visit to St. Stithians (above) in Johannesburg, South Africa, where they and Dunn Assistant Head of School for Leadership Barbara Haig toured the area and connected with fellow Round Square students before the conference.
