Ready for the Future: Learning through Innovation

The Dunham School is a pioneer when it comes to integrating technology and education. An Apple Distinguished School since 2011 and identified by Gallop in 2017 as one of the most innovative schools in the nation, Dunham is a leader when it comes to preparing students for their future. We know a thing or two about balancing the strong foundations of a classical curriculum with cutting-edge technology to enhance student learning and engagement. And we've used that knowledge to tear down the traditional classroom walls and open up a world of endless resources and possibilities for our students.

Director of Innovation and Technology

FaceTime. Coding. Programming Robots. Creating iMovies.

It’s all in a day’s work at Dunham, where our technology program has transformed the way we teach and learn. After becoming pros with iPads in Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten, students in grades 1-12 receive their own MacBooks and become adept at using G Suite for Education, websites, and apps to create, publish work, and share ideas with teachers, classmates, and even peers from across the globe. Our technology-rich environment keeps students inspired, challenged, and prepared for success in college and career through experiences that build creativity, collaboration, and cross-cultural literacy.
