Alexander dawson school Reviews

" As a student love the campus diversity could use some work."

We love the school. Our kids are very happy and engaged. Love the community of teachers, parents and students. The students have many opportunities to travel and explore their passion. Sports program is getting stronger.

We have four kids at Dawson. My two boys in Upper School love that they can play varsity sports as freshman, participate in language immersion trips and tour colleges during Winterm. They also realize the importance of having caring hands on teachers that really want them to do their personal best and are always accessible for help. My middle schooler has gained academic and personal strength and confidence each year she has been in the middle school. The teachers in the MS really "get" kids and help them develop socially and academically. My lower schooler is not sure what she really likes. Dawson gives her the safe and encouraging environment to climb out of her comfort zone and explore things she did not think she would enjoy. Dawson is a school that is continually striving to adapt to this ever-changing world. They implement new and important teaching strategies each year. I am confidant that what my kids are learning at Dawson will stay with them long after they graduate.

Amazing school that makes high character young men!

Dawson has been terrific for my 3 children. The high quality faculty were both engaging and supportive. The leadership opportunities encouraged my kids to step up and challenge themselves. My kids are all different and they each found their own interests to excel in including kayaking, golf and speech and debate. The College Counselors were invaluable assisting my kids through the stressful college application process. The rigorous academic curriculum enabled my kids to transition easily to college. My kids continue to have strong friendships with other students and teachers after graduation. I am very grateful to Dawson!

Our kids have been attending Dawson for 7 years, and we have had a terrific experience. From elementary on up, we feel they got a 'leg up' on their education: great skills, and a love of learning. The teachers and staff are top of their game -- plus with the small class sizes, we really feel like they know our kids, and that they are getting lots of personalized attention. Great academics, and good focus on arts, athletics, technology -- and also building character and leadership skills. Gorgeous campus and fantastic lunches, too!
