Dalhousie Public School

Sending a child up a mountain is an act of trust.

We take that trust seriously. Before a single lesson is taught, every child is safe, known and cared for, and you are kept close, however far away you are.

Parent Connect

Distance should never mean silence.

Calling hours and letter-writing keep families in step with their child's week. Housemasters and mistresses stay with students throughout their time here, so there is always a familiar voice on the other end, for the child and for you.

You will not lie awake wondering.

Because you will have met the people who will know your child by name, seen the room where they will sleep, and stood in the air they will breathe every morning. Choosing a school is a big decision. Come and make it with your own eyes.

A real person replies, usually the same day.
