At Dunham, 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 you`ll
find challenging academic, athletic, fine arts, and leadership
programs that enable our PreK2-12th grade students to meet their
God-given potential now and in the future. But it`s not just our
college preparatory curriculum, cutting-edge technology, and
innovative programs that single us out as the leading independent
school in Baton Rouge. It`s how our faculty and students use these
resources every day-collaborating, problem solving, mentoring,
communicating, learning, and leading-that`s unique. And it`s
the Christ-like love modeled and lived out daily that creates a
palpable and joyful spirit on our campus-a spirit that
makes all the difference in preparing students for college and for
life.

Our daughter received a wonderful education at Dunham. While in high school she had the opportunity to take AP and Dual Enrollment courses for college credit and was also able to participate in fine arts and athletics. The school's technology program is the best in the city, and you won't find the Christian atmosphere anywhere else. The best decision our family made was to send our daughter to Dunham.

Best school in Baton Rouge! The small class size alone sets the school apart from so many others. With this environment the faculty/teachers provide so much more to each student as well as better academic attention. Dunham is the school for parents who are looking for a Christ centered education for their children as well as developing their character - "educating the mind and heart for Christ". It's present in this school.

Two of my children have graduated and two still attend Dunham. We visited many schools in Baton Rouge before our final selection of Dunham. Though no school is perfect, Dunham has educated our children with a Christian worldview. They have ramped academics up over the last 5 years with excellent results. My graduates are thriving in college and medical school with the excellent foundation Dunham helped build. The Dunham community of teachers and parents has helped us through some challenging circumstances. THANK YOU to Dunham for all they are giving to my children.

I have worked in several outstanding private schools prior to Dunham. I find the Dunham culture to be the healthiest I have ever known. People at Dunham work hard to make that culture so pervasive you can "feel" it. I suggest you come experience it personally.

Dunham has been the most challenging, loving and nurturing school we have ever attended. The individualized education and Christian atmosphere is like no other my family has experienced. My children have attended Dunham for a little over 4 years and I can not imagine sending my children any where else.
