About this school

Public choice option that is not guaranteed by address and generally depends on district choice or broader application rules.

Our school provides students access to an engaging curriculum aligned to the Next Generation Learning Standards by building on students' strengths, diverse experiences, and interests. We offer students the opportunity to acquire a new language through our Spanish Dual Language program or French as a World Language. Our school also embeds the 4Cs as part of our work with Competency-Based Education, advisory and restorative practices into everyday instruction to engage students in social-emotional learning. Finally, students have the opportunity to explore and develop their passions outside of the classroom through a wide range of extracurricular activities, sports teams, student clubs, and talents including visual arts, photography, theater, dance, vocal music and instrumental music. At Dewey, we believe in educating the whole-child and fostering a community where students feel safe, nurtured, and heard as they move through Middle School and prepare for High School and beyond. Students from low-income households, students in temporary housing, and English Language Learners (ELLs) have an admissions priority for 52% of seats at this school.
