Emphasis is upon patriotic education throughout the curriculum.
The school plant and enrollment have increased greatly in size and number since 1924. However, the same spirit of dedication to achievement, patriotic and moral values, and service to community and country, exists on the campus today as it did in the early years of this unique educational experiment of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Kate Duncan Smith DAR School is the only school with grades K-12 in the United States owned and operated by members of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Several possible locations were considered for the school. The selection of the present site was determined not only for its isolation but for its great need for improved educational opportunities.
