I have long since graduated and continue to think of my time at Dana as the best 4 years of my life. It was a time that I felt supported and challenged. I made life long friends with peers and teachers.
If you like being stripped of the freedom to have your own opinions, Dana Hall is the school for you. What may on the outside seem like a place that encourages the acceptance of others, Dana girls quickly find out that they are being brainwashed by the school administration. Disagree with homosexuality? Well, Dana doesn't support that opinion. In fact, the students' acceptance of the gay&lesbians is so important to the school that in the end the academics suffer... or perhaps that's just because they weren't any good in the first place. Dana doesn't WANT to help you, and they probably won't take any action unless they absolutely have to. But they have no problem wasting countless hours of your time talking about the problem, and eventually doing nothing to resolve it. The teachers are stuck up and bitter. They WILL try to get you in trouble.
Dana Hall prepared me in every aspect for like beyond high school. I entered shy and quiet, and Dana gave me the opportunity to thrive and succeed...to discover interests and apply myself. The traditions are amazing. They are the foundation of the school. This is an amazing school and I recommend it to anyone who wants to see their daughter become a driven, bright, strong young woman!
I go to Dana and I've been (here) since 6th grade and I love it! The middle school was not the greatest but as soon as you get into the upper school its awesome! I don't have a single teacher or class that I am bored in or dislike. The courses are appropriately challenging and everything is interesting. All of the girls are incredibly nice and it is a very diverse community- there's a friend for everyone. I won't leave until I have to graduate!!
