The Dalton Plan

The three-part Dalton Plan (House, Assignment, and Lab) serves to achieve a series of the school's objectives: to tailor each student's program to their needs, interests, and abilities; to promote both independence and dependability; and to enhance social skills and sense of responsibility toward others.
