The Dawson Difference
Paths to Success
Every student is known, nurtured, and challenged. With a 7:1 student-to-faculty ratio, small class sizes, and dedicated advisors and counselors — including a 30:1 student-to-college counselor ratio — Dawson ensures each student finds their path to success.
Learning Without Walls
Students spend 100+ hours each year learning beyond the classroom. Through labs, performance, creative projects, fieldwork, service, internships, and travel, they collaborate, think critically, and build the real-world skills needed to thrive now and in the future.
Programs for Tomorrow
From an age-appropriate AI programming for grades 3–12 that emphasizes practical use and ethical awareness, to financial literacy and the EntreX Lab™ dual-enrollment entrepreneurship course, Dawson equips students with the tools to lead in a rapidly changing world.
