SCHOOL DESCRIPTION: The Dalton School is a unique learning environment. Peek into any classroom K-12 and our progressive pedagogy is in full view as our 1330 students use their creative energy and intellectual curiosity to guide academic inquiry and to expand avenues for dynamic engagement. Students sit on the edge of their seats eager to participate; teachers foster the excitement with questions and links to unexplored interconnections. At the same time, the intentional structure of the Dalton curriculum quickly becomes apparent as the lessons remain grounded in foundational skills and content. Indeed, The Dalton Plan — conceived by Helen Parkhurst at Dalton’s founding in 1919 and fully operational today — provides a blueprint for this extraordinary combination of educational attributes. It is a distinctive framework that simultaneously encourages fundamentals and fascination, purpose and passion, interdependence and independence, rigor and reflection, investigation and innovation.
