Doves Landing School         K-12  Private School Program

We are a private, non-profit, Donations-based K-12 Abraham Lincoln-style school located in Palm Desert and Indian Wells, California. 
Doves Landing School is set in a uniquely capable academic site at College of the Desert! At COD, children from Kindergarten through High School rapidly advance academically and develop their individual capabilities.  High school students enjoy direct access to COD's concurrent enrollment program, and can attend college courses for dual credit!

The Abraham Lincoln-style small schools concept, of older children coming alongside younger ones, develops leaders and inspires children to try their very best.  Whether with academics, peers, or community, relationships thrive, and spur on overall greatness and then leadership skills!
Field Study-  The Doves Landing School program includes considerable hands-on, outdoor study and work settings.  Our staff takes advantage of our world renown beautiful views and weather to offer children traditional academic studies outdoors as well as biology, botany, physical sciences, geology, etc. studied in our surrounding locale. Horseback riding and swimming lessons are examples of outdoor specialty offerings for all students K-12.
Academic Program​ - Often affectionately referred to as the Abraham Lincoln-style School, the current program, based upon its award-winning prototype, provides rigorous academics in the setting that teaches and encourages healthy relationships between students of all ages.  The full academic offerings of English/Language Arts, Math, Science, History, Music (Piano/Choir), Fine Arts, Foreign Language, and Physical Education ensures that a child's natural interest area is included in the curriculum.  

One of our many outdoor experiences; certainly horseback riding is a favorite!
