New Old Court Lower School
In the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year, construction began for the new Beth Tfiloh Dahan Lower School on the school's Old Court Campus.
The Old Court Lower School was completed in December 2008, and the Lower School students moved in on January 5, 2009. There was a procession as well as a ribbon cutting by founder, Haron Dahan and benefactor, Marvin H. Weiner, who chaired the construction committee. Students were escorted to the new Lower School by Beth Tfiloh Middle and High School students and were greeted by members of the Beth Tfiloh Congregation and School leadership and various public officials. The new Lower School is connected to the existing Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community School complex and includes a gymnasium, library and a cafeteria, together with classrooms and other amenities that existed on its Glyndon Campus.

Famous quotes containing the words court and/or school:
“Follow a shaddow, it still flies you;
Seeme to flye it, it will pursue:
So court a mistris, shee denyes you;
Let her alone, shee will court you.
Say, are not women truely, then,
Stil’d but the shaddowes of us men?
At morne, and even, shades are longest;
At noone, they are or short, or none:
So men at weakest, they are strongest,
But grant us perfect, they’re not knowne.
Say, are not women truely, then,
Stil’d but the shaddowes of us men?”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“The first rule of education for me was discipline. Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life. I discipline myself to do everything—getting up in the morning, walking, dancing, exercise. If you won’t have discipline, you won’t have a nation. We can’t have permissiveness. When someone comes in and says, “Oh, your room is so quiet,” I know I’ve been successful.”
—Rose Hoffman, U.S. public school third-grade teacher. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)
