The Dorris-Eaton School, founded in 1954, is an independent, coeducational, day school for preschool through junior high students. The school is recognized locally as well as nationally for its 70 years of academic excellence.
Fostering intellectual curiosity is our focus. Critical and creative thinking, effective communication and public speaking, compelling writing, as well as organizational and study skills are hallmarks of our program. Our low student-teacher ratio allows teachers to give meaningful student feedback and support.
Emphasizing the process of learning provides our K-8 students the foundation to tackle our accelerated curriculum with confidence. Classes in art, Spanish, music, and physical education along with a constantly evolving selection of electives for our sixth through eighth graders round out our offerings.
On our park-like six-acre preschool campus, there is much to explore and enjoy. Sharing, common courtesy, and working together form the springboard from which all activities flow. Our teachers offer a positive and joyful school experience and a rich, stimulating curriculum which includes classes in art, Spanish, and music.
Developing positive interpersonal skills is an important ingredient in success in school and life. Each day, preschool-eighth grade students demonstrate kindness, respect, and a growth mindset. In addition, social awareness is advanced through community service, school volunteer service programs, and a variety of age-appropriate leadership opportunities.
Dorris-Eaton’s experienced faculty and comprehensive curriculum provide the solid foundation that enables our graduates to succeed in the finest high schools and universities in the country—positioning them to become influential leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs. The founding tenet, excellence in education, remains the guiding principle of The Dorris-Eaton School.
