Promotion
of education is one of the three primary objectives adopted in the original
Bylaws of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution.



 



The DAR completely supports the Kate
Duncan Smith (KDS) DAR School and the Tamassee DAR School, Inc. It also contributes support to the
Hillside School, Inc., Hindman Settlement School, Inc. , Berry College, Inc.,
Crossnore School, Inc. and Bacone College.



 



Most of
these schools began with a small group of children in disadvantaged areas where
public education was not accessible. As improvement of roads and public
education facilities occurred in these areas, the needs of the communities
changed. The schools have grown into fully operational campuses, meeting the
changing needs of their communities.



 



Today
the DAR Schools encompass a variety of special needs programs including
attention deficit disorder, dyslexia, adult literacy, and children in family
crisis. They serve thousands of other eager students from pre-school through
college who need a place to learn to fulfill their potential. Each school is
owned and controlled by a private, non-profit corporation in the state in which
it is located.
