What happens when under-resourced students are given the resources we all need to thrive? This.

Dream bigger.
Work harder.
Be GREATER.

The Greater Dayton School is Ohio’s first private non-religious school exclusively for under-resourced students. Our model is predicated on personalized instruction, whole-child learning, wraparound services, long-term outcomes, low student-teacher ratios, multi-age classrooms and family involvement.
