We encourage you to begin the admissions process by scheduling a campus visit that will allow you to meet with our director of enrollment management and receive a personal tour of our campus. If you prefer, you may schedule a virtual meeting and take a virtual tour at your leisure.
When you visit us, you’ll find intentionally small classes, where a blend of traditional and innovative teaching is combined with the latest technology to ignite creativity and intellectual curiosity. You’ll discover expert teachers who treasure each child as the individual he or she was created to be and challenging academic, athletic, arts, and leadership programs designed to enable students to meet their God-given potential now and in the future.
Parents and children interested in enrolling in PreK-3, PreK-4 or Kindergarten for the 2022-2023 school year are invited to live colorfully with us as we spend a morning exploring reading, art, and innovation activities. In addition to meeting our teachers and staff, children will have some goodies to take home as well! Because space is limited at this event, we ask that guests register in advance.
Come discover what makes Dunham the leading private school in Baton Rouge! Families with preschool through high-school aged students are invited to spend the morning with us to learn more about our faith-based college preparatory academic program, championship athletic teams, and inspiring fine arts opportunities. While walk-in guests are always welcome, we kindly ask that you register in advance so we can plan for the appropriate number of visitors.

FAITH
The Dunham experience rests upon a foundation of faith as we strive to educate our students' minds and hearts for Christ.
“At Dunham, we found a school environment with tradition, a culture with substance, and a leadership team focused on faith, kindness and professionalism. My fifth grader now has public speaking skills that adults struggle with. My four year old looks forward to the events and activities that her brother participated in. My children’s relationship with God has improved, and they have felt loved, supported, understood and challenged. And we are very blessed.”
