I cannot say enough positive things about my children's experience at The Dover School. Each day, my kids are happy to go and are excited about learning - the teachers and community are stellar top-notch caring individuals. There is so much dynamic learning going on each day and we are so thrilled to be a part of it. We are confident they will move on to higher education incredibly prepared. Close Quote

Having been a parent involved in the DES for the past 13 years, I can happily say that these are a dedicated group of administrators, educators and support staff. The staff is stable in re: length of service but innovative in using the latest technology (all the classrooms have smart boards and all the 4-6 graders have laptops/netbooks).

The new administrator (Bill Anton) has brought a great energy level to the school over the past couple of years and has been instrumental in getting DES ranked number 2 in the state. Close Quote
