Middle School (Grades 5-8) Education
The Middle School experience at The Alexander Dawson School, which incorporates grades 5-8, is a time for risk-taking and the pursuit of deeper intellectual challenges. Dawson students take on challenges with the support of master teachers that provide individual attention, promote freedom to be curious, and empower each and every student to find their passions and voice. Learning and growing take place in every corner of the Middle School, from the accessibility of conversations with advisors, teachers, administrators, and coaches, to the strength of a community that fully believes and invests in the growth of each child.
