T he Dunham School has proudly served the Baton Rouge community for more than 40 years. Founded in 1981 with a mission to educate minds and hearts for Christ through a college preparatory program grounded in biblical truth, Dunham is now recognized not only as a leader in Christian education, but also as one of the most innovative and technologically advanced schools in the country. Dunham prides itself on meeting the needs of the individual student while delivering high-quality academics, competitive athletics, and inspiring fine arts offerings. Thanks to a longtime partnership with Apple, Inc., students have access to the latest technology and opportunities to engage in design thinking, coding, and engineering through a robust STEM curriculum. The Harkness Method, a unique discussion-based pedagogy, allows future leaders to find their voices, respectfully share ideas, and become effective communicators. Extracurricular and leadership opportunities help students find shared interests, express their school pride, and grow together in faith. A focus on stu- dents’ social and emotional needs creates a balanced and healthy student experience. Counseling, advisory, and wellness programs as well as numerous opportunities for fun, fellowship, and collaboration contribute to a vibrant environment where students form lasting relationships with teachers and peers. With personalized college counseling, strong ACT/ SAT scores, and acceptances to selective universities across the country, Dunham graduates are well-prepared to thrive in college and career.
