Three Dalton aims

In the "
"Report of a conference on THE DALTON PLAN in secondary schools"
Miss Belle Rennie gave in her introduction speech a very interesting
explanation of the three aims of the Dalton Plan.

The Dalton Plan in Secondary Schools

Just reading again the report of a Dalton
conference held in April 1923.
Amazing how modern and actual the
organization of some secondary schools was
at that time.
Miss Belle Rennie
(Hon.Sec. of the Dalton Association)
spoke about 'the elasticity of the method'.
Soon more about this conference.

From the Ascham Newsletter

Ascham is the outstanding private Dalton school in Sydney.


... ”I reiterate that the Higher School Certificate is an internationally recognised credential that serves our students well. It has the desired mix of breadth and rigour that opens all doors in both the UK Oxbridge context, where specialisation is the key to entry, and also in the US Ivy League colleges and universities which appreciate more breadth.
This is confirmed by my recent visits to Oxford and Cambridge as well as our practical experience of preparing our girls for Harvard, Princeton and the like.
While we will continue to monitor the educational landscape we remain confident that our current curriculum delivered through the Dalton Plan and culminating in the HSC is the best education we can offer our girls at this time”.
