"Exceptional education, wonderful values"

I'm thoroughly impressed with the education and values my daughter is receiving at DOYRMS. The school has a fantastic military heritage and this is reflected in the sense of discipline and respect that the children show. The academics are excellent and the staff are always willing to help. We feel so lucky to be part of this community.

"A home from home with outstanding results"

We moved to Dover a year ago and were initially worried about our son making friends. But within weeks, he had settled in and was thriving. The school's focus on values such as courage, integrity, and self-discipline has had a huge impact on him. His grades are excellent and we're confident he'll do well in the future. We can't recommend DOYRMS highly enough.

"Mixed feelings about DOYRMS"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at DOYRMS. The school has a great sense of community and the staff are friendly. However, we've found the homework load to be quite heavy at times and the facilities, while lovely, are not as modern as we'd have liked. That being said, our daughter is happy and her grades are good, so we're pleased with that. We just wish there were a few more extracurricular activities to choose from.
