Dakota Memorial School offers a safe, structured, and supportive learning environment for students in residential treatment at Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch, as well as Day Students who live at home and attend during the school day.
Our students receive individualized instruction, behavioral support, and social-emotional care that help them thrive both academically and personally. With campuses in Minot, Fargo, and Bismarck, we provide trauma-sensitive learning, tailored education plans (IEPs), and personalized support that foster healing, growth, and success.
DMS is a fully accredited K-12 private school district, staffed by certified teachers, administrators, para-educators, and support personnel. We are approved by the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction and accredited by Cognia, an international accrediting body dedicated to high-performance standards and measurable, meaningful school improvement.
