South Dover Elementary School offers an exciting learning environment for students in grades K-4.
South Dover Elementary School is a state-of-the-art facility with a highly skilled, committed, and caring staff. Our learning environment focuses on standards-based, rigorous instruction that incorporates thinking skills, hands-on learning, enrichment opportunities such as (ACT) Accelerated Curriculum and Technology program, and intervention support as needed. Technology is embedded into all that we do as well as a commitment to foster positive behavioral skills and provide educational experiences that will help our students to become confident, successful learners.
Our school was recognized in 2018 as a National Title One Distinguished School for high academic achievement. We continue to strive for educational excellence and to help each of our children succeed in all areas-academic, behavioral, social, and emotional. Our goal is to educate and support the whole child.
In addition, South Dover was recognized for achieving the 2021-2022 Sapphire Award for Excellence in School Counseling.
South Elementary School also offers the Spanish Immersion Program for students that provides the opportunity to learn academic content through a second language. Young children especially thrive in this type of environment where learning a new language comes as naturally as learning their first one.
