FIND DEAN PROGRAMS AT A SCHOOL NEAR YOU


For 17 years, we've partnered with premier independent schools in DC, Maryland, and Virginia to bring DEAN's developmental, hands-on philosophy to their summer programming. Whether your child attends DEAN at Haverford College, Lawrenceville School, or one of our partner locations, you can expect the same high standards: trained counselors who notice, expertly written age-appropriate curriculum built around doing and making, and the safety protocols DEAN has refined over 23 years.

Registration for partner school locations is managed directly through each school. Find your location below. Your child's DEAN summer starts here.
