Wonderful school! So glad we found it. I have 2 students going there now and they love it. The teachers, principal and aides are all wonderful and really care about kids. They all communicate so well. I feel very welcomed when ever I'm there or go into the office. I would defiantly recommend this school if you are looking for a great learning environment with a great education program and team.

After attending Dunham for five years (we moved or we would have been their longer) we have nothing but good things to say.The staff was supportive through the years when my son was behind in reading. Because of their help he is now up to grade level and excels in math. My daughter is also excelling. Those formative years at Dunham have really created a love of learning in our kids.The teachers, administration, and parents collaborate effectively to run the school in such a way that funds are well allocated to additional curriculum that are fun and educational for the kids. The garden is by far a wonderful addition to the school and really created a community connection between the families and the local agriculture of Sonoma County. Things like apple pressing, seasonal starter sales, and the pumpkin patch where each child gets a pumpkin...these are things that kids remember for the rest of their lives. The end of year carnival is always a blast!It's a close knit community. As a small school, be prepared to face the challenges of kids getting sick of one another. There is only one class per grade so kids stay together. That results in bickering and splitting off eventually with their people. They are like siblings by the time they leave the school. Some kids get along better than others. But the variation of personality types and the inclusion of all demographics really gives these kids a sense of how to treat many types of people in and out of school.in my opinion, this small country school is one of the best in Sonoma County. It's a secret gem.
