John Haden Badley in England. She developed what she termed the ''Dalton Plan'', which called for teachers and students to work together toward individualized goals. The ''Laboratory Plan'' was first put into effect as an experiment in the high school of Dalton, Massachusetts, in 1916. The estate of her benefactor
Josephine Porter Boardman, was also near the town of Dalton and from this beginning the ''Laboratory Plan'' and school eventually took their names.
In 1919, Helen Parkhurst relocated to New York City, where she opened her first school on

in athletics. Some teams, such as varsity football, participate in different athletic conferences. Dalton offers 23 varsity teams (including a cheerleading squad) and nine junior varsity teams in the high school athletics program. The school colors were historically gold and blue, although they have been changed to blue and white (based on common misunderstanding). The sports range from squash and golf, to soccer and lacrosse. The school's mascot is a tiger whose name is Ivan.
''The Daltonian'' is Dalton's official student newspaper and is published every 2–3 weeks by the High School students. Middle and High School students also produce other publications, including the political journal ''Realpolitik'', literary magazine ''Blue Flag'', visual art magazine ''Fine Arts'', photography magazine ''Shutterbug'', and a middle school blog, the ''Dalton Paw.''

). Candidates receive notification of acceptance, rejection, or wait list in February. As of early 2013, the overall acceptance rate for grades K–12 at Dalton was reported by Peterson's to be 14%.
Parental anxiety created by the highly competitive admission process was the subject of press coverage from 1999-2001.
Long seen as a bastion of privilege, Dalton's efforts to broaden its mandate for diversity have met with some difficulty. In 2010, a financial aid budget of $6.5 million supported an outreach program for socio-economic diversity at the school.
As of this date, students of color made up 38% of the Dalton First Program. In the 2008–2009 school year, the kindergarten was composed of 44% children of color.
