School Life Highlights

Thanks to daily campus events, seasonal traditions, and the activities of our student-led clubs and activities, student life @ D-E remains as dynamic as ever!

Our youngest Lower School (LS) learners have been enthusiastically engaged in D-E Chess Team and LS Chorus (offered through D-E 360° AfterCare & Enrichment), to name a few.

Middle School (MS) students have been enthusiastically supporting service-learning opportunities such as the annual Thanksgiving Food Drive and exploring myriad ‘maker’ and MS Robotics Team opportunities.

In the Upper School, students have shined in performances during the annual winter Jazz Rock concert; guided thoughtful conversation on timely topics (including a panel discussion with US Congressman (and D-E Parent) Josh Gottheimer; participated in affinity group-led showcases such as the Lunar New Year Assembly; joined off-campus field trips to fascinating locations. US student-led organizations have also represented D-E and competed successfully in myriad matches and competitions – including our D-E Ethics Bowl, D-E Model UN, and Robotics Teams.

The photos here capture how thus far this 2024-2025 school year, all our students have been encouraged to grow personally and develop critical leadership skills while pursuing current areas of interest and new curiosities.
