DREAM Big
We dream big. We believe bigger. Because one person’s garbage-strewn lot can be another’s field of dreams. A baseball league for 75 kids can become a network of schools for thousands. And a kindergarten class can become the next generation of changemakers in the community and the world.

In the Classroom
​A rigorous academic model is one way that we work to grow the whole child. But classrooms aren’t just for math and phonics – they’re for singing and storytelling, art and experimenting, making new friends and learning about yourself.
On The Field
Our scholars know what it means to be a member of a team. DREAM’s roots in baseball and softball and our commitment to keeping students active foster a culture where all students have access to team-based extracurriculars—and the lessons that come with being part of something bigger.
