You can't think critically unless you have something to think critically about. We utilize the Core Knowledge curriculum that systematically builds vocabulary and background knowledge.

A professional teacher utilizing an aligned curriculum and evidence-based instructional practices can move mountains. Our teachers provide regular direct instruction that's clear, engaging, and explicit.

Bored kids don't learn. We provide regular active learning experiences that bring learning to life through hands-on projects, experiments, and activities.

Regular tutoring significantly improves academic outcomes and is a regular activity for all Dexter students.

The entire Dexter community has extremely high expectations for students regarding respect, kindness, and manners.

We place a strong focus on developing skills and competencies in STEAM areas: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics.
