The Dalton School is committed to providing an education of excellence that meets each student's interests, abilities and needs within a common curricular framework and reflects and promotes an understanding of, and appreciation for, diversity in our community as an integral part of school life.

The Dalton School has flourished and grown in ways only imagined in 1919 when it was founded by Helen Parkhurst. Today it is recognized as a national and international model of progressive education based upon a rigorous and challenging academic curriculum. With a unique educational philosophy that is based upon individualized learning, Dalton fosters excitement and joy in the ongoing process of learning. Nurturing the children's natural inquisitiveness, inculcating self-confidence in their intelligence and in their ability to succeed, Dalton enables its students to become responsible and independent learners and thinkers. From kindergarten through twelfth grade, the school offers its students a breadth of innovative programs.
