In the classroom

Do you think calculus is not your thing? That the Fertile Crescent is ancient history? Or that eloquence is the special domain of poets? In any classroom at Dana Hall you'll find young women just like you stretching their minds and making new connections. The limits are as high as you set them.

Helpful tips and wise words

When I got here, I had never taken a test besides the SSAT. Within a month, we had a big math test. I knew the formulas, so I was positive it would be no big deal. When I got my test back, I was mortified! My mom suggested that I see my teacher. She gave me helpful test-taking tips, and told me that my grade did not reflect my knowledge; those words are something I will always keep with me.

Finding friends in class

The first day of school, our teacher assigned us partners for a game. I didn't know anything about my partner, not even her name. But we introduced ourselves, and after awhile, we were laughing and talking like we had known each other for a long time. Before I knew it, we were best friends!
