We have several children in our family and close friendship groups who have graduated from Dreher or are currently attending. They have all been served well by the outstanding and caring faculty. They received an excellent eduation and were deeply involved in the arts and athletics. In addtition , they had fun and made lasting friendships with students with widely diverse backgrounds. I attribute the fact that they are comfortable with themselves and form successful business and social relationships easily to the expectations and apreciation for others learned at Dreher. One of my children attributes the fact that he sailed through undergrad and grad programs in programs with intense math concentrations to the outstanding math department where Ms. Murphy and colleagues make even calculus comfortable. The arts program is phenomenal. Some of the children of family and close friends have had difficulties socially and academically but were aslo embraced and encouraged at Dreher. We are all deeply grateful to the Dreher teachers and other staff.
