School site is fabulous, a leafy oasis with the feel of an Oxbridge college in the centre of Durham. Drama and music are real strengths - large-scale productions are staged both in school and at the Sage, Gateshead.

The schools offer independent, 3-18, co-educational, day and boarding opportunities at the heart of the university city of Durham.

Core Beliefs

Equity: The students and schools deserve equitable access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. Durham Public Schools and the community must distribute those resources in a manner that eliminates inequities.

Shared responsibility: Durham Public Schools must be intentional in acting collaboratively and involving all stakeholders, ensuring that the community utilizes its collective resources to support every child. The Durham community shares responsibility with DPS for the success of children.

A child-centered approach: Students deserve an education that is caring, is culturally responsive and embraces the whole child. Durham Public Schools will address the social, emotional, and academic needs of each student.
