South Dorchester School is a pre-kindergarten through grade 8 school located in the rural Church Creek, Maryland area known as Golden Hill.  Our student body consists of approximately 200 students.  Our school is unique in that there is only one class per grade level.  The staff members are dedicated, flexible, and experienced with most having ten or more years experience.  Through creative scheduling and use of staff members, we have been able to provide more individualized small-group instruction.

Our Mission
The mission of South Dorchester School is to promote quality education through a shared process involving students, teachers, parents, and community.  We will provide a safe, caring environment in which students can achieve academic success while developing self-esteem, independence, and respect in order to be productive, responsible citizens.
