The Upper School enrichment period is where curiosity meets action giving students space to explore passions beyond the classroom. From Model UN and Robotics to Latin Club, Ambassadors, and athletics, it’s a time of growth and connection. And this spring? Pickleball is a hit on campus!
Our preschoolers are outside again, and the playground is buzzing with joy! Little learners get multiple recess breaks each day, racing, rolling, and exploring on age-appropriate bikes, climbers, and play structures designed just for them.
Why just read Shakespeare when you can live it? Acting out the scenes brings the language to life and helps students feel the rhythm of the words. It builds confidence, deepens understanding, and makes iambic pentameter way more fun when you`re dodging a fake sword or declaring your love on a classroom stage.
Our first graders had a fantastic surprise yesterday, an adorable axolotl visited DDS! This unique aquatic salamander, with its forever-smiling face and feathery gills, captivated the students during their up-close exploration. Big thanks to our teacher’s son for bringing his special pet to share. The kids were full of wonder, asking thoughtful questions and giggling at its slow, swishy movements.
The warmer days are here, and you can feel the energy shift as kids race outside after school, soaking up the sunshine and open air. At DDS, the courtyard is alive with laughter and friendly competition, carpet ball, anyone? There’s something so joyful about these simple moments: warm light, good company, and the satisfying thud of a well-aimed roll.
Our 6th graders are deep in focus, bringing science to life - one tiny organelle at a time! They’re designing and building detailed 3D models of cells, turning creativity into learning. From mitochondria to the nucleus, every piece is a step toward understanding the building blocks of life.
Our first assembly back from spring break was a beautiful treat. We were so honored to host the Millbrook Music Salon, featuring the talented violinist Oliver Neubauer and pianist Sophia Zhou. The students were captivated by the rich sounds and heartfelt performances. It was a joyful reminder of the power of live music to inspire, connect, and uplift. A big thank you to Oliver, Sophia, and the entire Millbrook Music Salon team for sharing your gifts with our school community!
