Dalat holds teachers and students to a high standard while providing the support and freedom to reach it creatively. There is space for innovation, time for exploration, and willingness to try different approaches. A continuous striving for excellence in so many areas from teaching staff to administrators to those in maintenance contribute to making this school one of the highest caliber. I get to teach classes I love to students who care.

Something continues to draw me to Dalat. After visiting the school on a college trip and student teaching here, I was hired a couple of years later as staff. Dalat is not just a school; it is a community. This community works together to reach common goals.

As a Dalat alumni, I love the opportunity to work at a place that I love so much. My teachers invested in me when I was a student here, and now I have the chance to do that for my students. Working at a Christian school where you can integrate your faith into your teaching is a great opportunity, and I love how diverse our student body is!

My favorite thing about working at Dalat is the fact that the staff are a priority, that they are taken care of and that they are given the best opportunities and resources to constantly improve their teaching abilities. I have a strong relationship with my colleagues and feel that I am fully supported in any decision-making process that needs to take place. There is an open line of communication amongst my colleagues. The best thing about my day is knowing that I am going to a school that works towards both children and adults forming a relationship with the Lord.
