Downlands is a vibrant community of students, parents and staff who strive to do great things with their one precious life.

Many schools talk about it, but at Downlands, we live our commitment to a strong and vibrant, faith-based community every day. The strong sense of community and friendships forged at Downlands creates a network of support that extends long after graduation.


Parents, family and friends are encouraged to become better acquainted and involved in the College community in a way that matches their interests, talents and availability. Joining and participating in our support groups ensures you a great reward as you embrace the school community. It provides you with the opportunity to network with other business people, make new friends, become familiar with your child’s College and most importantly feel a part of this warm and significant community.
