Welcome, Falcons!
We have experienced, well-trained and enthusiastic staff who are dedicated to providing our students with the best educational experience possible. Together, we can make this school year a positive experience for you and your student.
Solar Energy
What makes DNMS unique? Est. in 2015, our school is partially powered by solar energy. There is a courtyard for each grade level, each with a built-in solar panel to help our school save energy.
Clubs, Athletics and Activities
Every student is encouraged daily to be present, be respectful, and get involved, whether that be in our multiple clubs, athletics, or activities. We have several opportunities to develop good character and grow leaders in the Derby community.
Outdoor Classroom
We also have a thriving, wifi supported, outdoor classroom, which includes a pond, foot & disc golf courses, trails, and games and activities for our students to enjoy nature and being outdoors.
