Duke Memorial Weekday School is in session from September through May. School hours are from 9 a.m. until 12 noon, except kindergarten, which operates from 9 a.m. until 12:50 p.m.

Curriculum

Our curriculum reinforces hands-on activities that are developmentally geared and individually appropriate.
