For generations, Alfred I. duPont Middle School has provided young people with a
supportive learning environment to help them navigate the complex years of
adolescence.
Beyond being a nurturing place to learn, our school offers a dual-language curriculum
that prepares students for a global economy. Studies show that learning in
two languages challenges students academically and improves their long-term career
prospects.
Committed to Diversity
Named for the celebrated American philanthropist Alfred I. duPont, our school boasts faculty members from the U.S., Latin America, Turkey, India, Africa and the Philippines. We also have students from 15 different countries, including Sudan, South America, Ethiopia, Kenya, Syria, Poland and Southeast Asia.
When young people learn in a diverse environment, it stimulates the mind and compels them to think in new ways. We champion dual-language learning and cultural inclusivity so that our students graduate better prepared for life in a global world.
