Cistercian Preparatory School was founded in 1962, but the tradition of Cistercian monasticism dates back more than 900 years. It is this tradition that makes Cistercian unique among Texas independent schools.
Within a community, the Cistercians seek a life balancing prayer, academics, and service. This philosophy permeates the small, all-boys school in a variety of ways, including a comprehensive theology program, a rigorous curriculum, exciting opportunities in athletics and fine arts, and the promotion of voluntary service.
Central to Cistercian’s uniqueness is the Form Master system. Each incoming class of fifth graders is assigned a Cistercian priest or layman. For the next eight years, this Form Master works closely with teachers and parents to oversee the personal, spiritual, and academic growth of the boys in his class. He works to provide a stable, supportive environment in which the boys can strive for excellence, grow in responsibility, celebrate diversity, and discover for themselves the importance of i ntegrity, gratitude, and magnanimity.
Cistercian sincerely believes every boy’s spirit yearns for knowledge and community. The school seeks to nurture and develop this spirit through the challenges of adolescence so that each young man may go forward in life enkindled by a love of learning and service, and thereby enlighten the world.

PSP Handbook.indd 1 6/2/2015 3:40:55 PM SHELTON PRIDE
Founded in 1976, Shelton School is a private non-profit, non-sectarian, co-ed school serving intelligent students with learning differences (LD) in grades EC through 12. It has been the turning point for thousands of students. Shelton’s individualized, structured multisensory academic program, especially written for LD students, challenges students by building the necessary skills. Shelton’s niche is providing a customized educational approach with positive, practical solutions matching the needs of LD students. For some, Shelton’s full school program is optimal for the duration of their high school days.
Shelton offers a comprehensive curriculum with a strong academic orientation and a nurturing family atmosphere that considers the physical, intellectual, emotional, and social growth of each student. In addition, the school offers a full array of extra-curricular, fun activities. Whether students leave Shelton to return to a mainstream classroom or head to college, they are equipped to meet the next challenge. Shelton is about helping every child become the absolute best human being he can be, not just academically fit.
While the school is clearly the centerpiece of its mission, Shelton is more than a school. It also encompasses three other major components — a speech/language/hearing program, an evaluation center, and an outreach/training program, all open to the community.
Shelton provides extensive training for professionals who work with LD students and their families. In addition, Shelton is actively involved with research at major institutions, with the goal of identifying and applying the best practices that will help children, youth and their families.

T ST. JOHN’S WE IGNITE THE LOVE OF LEARNING. IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT ACADEMICS, IT’S A IT’S ABOUT EDUCATION WITH SOUL.
St. John’s students do not sit in rows, quietly absorbing information. Instead, they actively engage with materials and ideas. They experiment and discuss and analyze and reflect. They become confident and independent through a balance of nurture and challenge.
Our curriculum is responsive to the needs of our students and is shaped by research, our experience and successful educational practices, providing a modern education within the tradition of Episcopal schools. Our approach fosters timeless human values, builds awareness of the larger world, and challenges students to understand their potential impact while cementing the essential core skills and concepts.
In the end St. John’s students grow into interesting and interested leaders. They are knowledgeable, well-rounded, articulate, confident and morally responsible individuals. Our students leave St. John’s more than “high school ready,” and later “college” and “work ready.” We set them up to be “life ready.”

“If it is to be, it’s up to me.” Quote from St. Philip’s Creed
SPIRITUALITY. SCHOLARSHIP. SERVICE.
t. Philip’s School and Community Center’s genesis is with the first African-American SEpiscopalian church in Dallas – St. Philip’s Church – founded in the late 1940s. What we are today is a direct result of the mission of the now defunct church’s congregation that was committed to providing educational and recreational programs for children and youth in South Dallas. Our School provides a rigorous education to students from Pre-K2 to 6th grade, ages 2 – 12. St. Philip’s is the only school in the southern sector of Dallas to receive accreditation by ISAS (Independent School Association of the Southwest). 100% of St. Philip’s alumni graduate high school, while 95% attend college. Our alumni count Harvard, Stanford, SMU, UCLA, Howard, Morehouse, and Purdue among the colleges and universities they attend.
Our students begin each day with an uplifting chapel service. The core values of educational excellence, educational opportunity, self- esteem, personal development, ethnic awareness, bridging racial barriers, and community service, prepare our students for an education that far exceeds academics – these values prepare them for life after St. Philip’s. St. Philip’s offers a full day, curriculum based Early Childhood program (PK-2 through Kindergarten) and dynamic Lower School (Grades 1st – 3rd) and Middle School (Grades 4th – 6th) programs. Our highly trained and energetic faculty and staff know that the world is the classroom and through high tech classroom and field exposures, we are empowering minds to think globally and to think big! Over 60% of St. Philip’s faculty hold advanced degrees and long-term partnerships with such institutions as the University of Texas at Dallas and Southern Methodist University strengthens the implementation of our curriculum.
Our Community Center is the heart of the neighborhood and allows our students to have hands on service learning opportunities year round. We work in collaboration with dozens of organizations to provide numerous services needed by our South Dallas neighbors. Additionally, St. Philip’s is the home of a MyChildren’s pediatric clinic, onsite daycare center and the Our Community Pantry, operated by North Texas Food Bank.
St. Philip’s sets an expectation of excellence and is committed to producing compassionate, competent, creative, and confident servant leaders for tomorrow! Office of Admission 4900 Walnut Hill Lane Dallas, TX 75229 469.232.1800 www.ursulinedallas.org
