Celebrating 40 Years

In 1981, the Koch, Love, Michaelson, Snoddy, and Tabb families joined together to form a college preparatory school grounded in Christian faith and principles. As they began the complex task of founding a school, they established three pillars of purpose—academics, arts, and athletics—all resting upon a foundation of faith. Their bold dream formed the vision behind The Dunham School’s mission to educate minds and hearts for Christ.

Through three locations, four name changes, seven heads of school, countless prayers, and, above all, God’s incredible provision, the faith of the school’s founders has become a reality. Today, The Dunham School is recognized not only as a leader in Christian education, but also as one of the most innovative and technologically advanced schools in the country.
