Welcome

Dear Families,

Thank you for taking the opportunity to learn about McDowell School.  I would like to share my enthusiasm about this wonderful community of students, parents and staff at McDowell School.  We are a close-knit community and are committed to excellence in providing a quality educational foundation to all our students.  As the Head of School I am confident that McDowell will make a significant contribution to your child’s education.

Our curriculum extends from infants through the elementary grades.  It provides your child with advantages in intellectual advancement, emotional confidence, social growth, and physical well-being.  Guided by our dedicated teachers, the students are challenged to develop their strengths while becoming critical thinkers, problem solvers, collaborating together and being creative on a global level.  Having this unique flexibility of our curriculum will allow students to move forward to core materials at their own pace and stimulate their self-confidence with our differentiated instruction.

I am confident that you will be consistently impressed with the learning and creativity in the classrooms. We encourage you to find out more about McDowell School by viewing our website, talking to our current families or visiting our wonderful campus.  We recognize that each child is unique, and I would love to have you be a part of our McDowell School family.

Wendi Pufahl
Head of School
