Check the map to be sure you are living  within the area outlines in red.  We serve families within the Dayton Public Schools District.  If you do not live in this area, we cannot serve your family at this time.

Though our schools do not have an athletic program, many of our scholars are top athletes for their local school.  Be sure to understand what school you would be assigned according to your address, as your child is still eligible to play sports and pursue after school, extra-curricular activities there.
