Click the link below to see the national 3DE website which contains an overview of what 3DE is and how it impacts schools! We are currently serving 44 schools across the United States and will open many more in the coming years. Any student who chooses to attend The Dalton Academy will be served through 3DE as well as we are a "whole school model" at The Dalton Academy.

Our students at The Dalton Academy have been doing some amazing things in their first semester as freshmen in the 3DE model! They have already worked with SPANX, TRUIST, Shaw Industries, and Engineered Floors to solve case studies and case challenges that help them master the core competencies associated with each challenge. Below you can watch a brief video showcasing some of the work the students have done first semester.

As they begin the second semester, the students are beginning their next case challenge that is with the Arby's Foundation. This particular case challenge is a national partner challenge with 3DE, so the stakes are much higher, and the prizes and accolades are much bigger. Check back periodically to see updates of the students' progress on this case! The students are launching the case now and will receive coaching from business professionals in a couple of weeks!

Our 9th grade students have now taken part in coaching by business professionals for our Arby's case! The students did a wonderful job explaining their ideas and viable solutions to the coaches and getting feedback to make those concepts even better. We were so proud of the work they did and the way they represented The Dalton Academy as they interacted with the business professionals! Next up, the students will attend and participate in the Culminating Event for this case. Stay tuned for updates and photos!
