Committed to Christ-centered intellectual preparation and traditional education, the aim is to equip students to know Christ with all their minds, love Him with all their hearts, and serve Him with all their lives. If you are like the typical parent pursuing Christian education for your children, you have three primary priorities: a safe and encouraging environment, good education, and development in the Christian faith. These priorities characterize The Cambridge School of Dallas as well. Cambridge is the School where every student will maximize their academic potential supported by the formation of a deeply ordered faith. Additionally, the Cambridge culture is unique. The students are treated like young men and women and encouraged to ask difficult questions and wrestle with challenging issues, all within a context devoted to mutual encouragement in a life of worship and integrity. We hope you will join many other families who have found all of this to be true. At Cambridge, teachers, and students develop a close, personal relationship, as students strive to develop mastery in each subject area. Our curriculum is distinctly Christian, grounded in a commitment to see and understand life through the lens of a biblical worldview. Simultaneously, our curriculum is traditional and classical, maintaining a commitment to classical languages, the Trivium, and the Socratic method. It is normed to the AP standard in core subject areas. Besides academic excellence, we also offer a wide range of opportunities in athletics, student leadership, fine arts, and multiple other areas. Education serves Christian discipleship by fostering a love of learning with a passion for Jesus Christ. We aim to equip students to love and serve God with all their minds to serve Him with their hearts, souls, and strengths. The School’s desire is to see students glorify God in every area of their lives. The Cambridge School of Dallas seeks to develop young Christian men and women spiritually equipped in Christ-likeness, philosophically grounded in a biblical worldview, encouraged in a traditional vision of reality, and academically prepared for admittance to strategic centers of cultural influence. We are a school that is attempting to raise the bar on both spiritual fervor and academic ability to graduate students who are able and willing to be an antidote to cultural decline and spiritual drift. Thus, Cambridge addresses both the heart and the mind. We believe in equipping students to engage their world actively and influence their culture. Cambridge is not a “haven” from this world. We are a training ground for kingdom service. The work is hard, the curriculum rigorous, the spiritual expectations high — for a purpose. Cambridge seeks to develop students who have a passion for Jesus, sharp minds, a clear calling, a generational commitment, and a kingdom imperative in all they seek to do with the rest of their lives. Cambridge is about intensive discipleship, strategic influence, traditional education, and intellectual preparation. View full school

Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas (Jesuit Dallas) was founded in 1942 as a private Catholic institution for young men under the Society of Jesus's direction. Located on a 27-acre campus in North Dallas, the School provides a rigorous student-centered Jesuit education to approximately 1,100 students in grades 9-12 with a 9:1 student-teacher ratio. The faculty totals over 125 professionals consisting of Jesuit priests and laymen and women. Currently, 59% of the staff holds an advanced degree. During the 2016-17 academic year, Jesuit Dallas granted more than $1.9 million in financial assistance to 23% of the student body. Jesuit Dallas students' average SAT scores exceed the national average by more than 200 points. Students annually earn local and national recognition from various prestigious and competitive programs, including National Merit Scholar Finalists, National Merit Hispanic Scholars, and AP Scholars. Jesuit is proud that 100% of Jesuit Dallas graduates are accepted by at least one college or university. In addition to a full academic curriculum, Jesuit's faculty and renowned counseling department guide students' social, spiritual, academic, and personal growth through various faith formation, athletic and extracurricular activities. More than three out of every four students participate in at least one of the 54 varsities, junior varsity, and freshman teams in 19 sports. When all extracurricular activities are included, the participation rate approaches 100%. Community service is one of Jesuit Dallas' most distinguishing hallmarks. Students participate in the most extensive, most comprehensive high school community service program in Texas and one of the largest nationwide. Jesuit students contribute nearly 100,000 hours of service each year to over 100 agencies in the Dallas area and worldwide. The School's focus on the formation of the whole person results in men who exemplify the ideal described in The Profile of the Graduate. The more than 10,000 graduates — Men for Others — serve as leaders in communities throughout the globe. As described by Jesuit president Mike Earsing, "Our students are not just called to be the best in the world they are called to be the best for the world." Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas does not tolerate sexual abuse, sexual activity, hazing, or bullying, whether perpetrated by adults or students. The School takes its role of partnering with parents very seriously and is vitally concerned about the safety and well-being of our students and the protection of the faculty, staff, and guests who participate in the many activities that we sponsor. Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas offers young men an excellent Catholic education in the classical Jesuit tradition to form a community of men with high moral principles and service to others. The mission of Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas draws its inspiration and vision from St. Ignatius Loyola. It seeks in all it does to work ad majorem Dei gloriam, to the greater glory of God. In offering a college preparatory education, Jesuit emphasizes academic excellence and intellectual challenge. The interaction of students and faculty introduces each student to the various fields of human knowledge, invites him to a mastery of particular skills, teaches him how to learn for himself, and encourages him to think critically. Thus, the studies' program looks to develop in its students "perfect eloquence," having something worthwhile to say and being able to express it effectively and persuasively. Jesuit recognizes the importance of educating the whole person, and thus every aspect of the School seeks the fullest possible development of every dimension of its students. Such a liberal education frees the student to develop fully the potential human God has given him. Jesuit's education seeks to inspire joy in learning and a thirst for more incredible and more in-depth knowledge. Jesuit exists as part of the apostolic mission of the Roman Catholic Church. It thus takes as its cornerstone an attitude of thinking with the Church, remaining faithful to its teachings and presenting clearly and honestly its fundamental beliefs. As a Catholic institution, Jesuit draws spiritual strength from its liturgical life in celebrating the sacraments, especially Reconciliation and the Eucharist. Jesuit likewise incorporates communal prayer as an integral part of the School's regular order and offers its students opportunities to develop and deepen their personal prayer lives. Jesuit's commitment to drawing students from all ethnic backgrounds flows from its participation in the Church's mission to make disciples of all nations. Its respect for diversity rests on understanding the common origin and goal of all human beings in God. Moreover, Jesuit's Catholic identity, drawing on the Church's defined teachings on religious liberty, likewise ensures proper respect for all conscience and convictions. Jesuit stands committed to all students' spiritual development and thus — in ways proper to a school — makes concrete experiences of church life available to all. Since a faith that does justice is an essential element of a Jesuit institution, the School requires its students a systematic service program reflecting on the broader issues and principles behind the individual acts of service. This service program stands as an integral part of the more extensive formation of character and spirituality. Jesuit calls on its students to see that justice and service works are ultimately done in imitation of Christ. In short, Jesuit strives to form its students into "men for others." View full school

Students are held to international education standards and learn how to think critically throughout their time here. The cultural exposure afforded to learners at DIS is unparalleled. Whether studying French architecture on a class trip to Paris, speaking Spanish to a teammate on the soccer field, or penning letters in Mandarin to students at one of our many sister schools worldwide, those who attend DIS will gain a rich understanding of countless cultures and societies. DIS students become the most competitive graduates for college placement in top-tier universities in the world. Our students benefit from a unique multicultural and multilingual curriculum. This continually developing program cultivates the skills and knowledge that distinguishes our students from the competition.

Dallas International School educates students of all backgrounds to contribute to a dynamic world with its internationally renowned curriculum, multiple language instruction, and exposure to diverse cultural views. Academic performance is essential. It can open the door to opportunity and pave the way for future success, both in higher education and professionally; however, we believe a values-based, international education is of equal importance. An international, multilingual education emphasizing critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, cross-cultural communication, and an appreciation of differences is essential in the world we live in today. Our values-driven international education is expressed through core principles and values woven into DIS's academic and extracurricular activities. From our core principles, we live and breathe five core values. They embody our mission statement and are the base of our character education program. Character education teaches the habits of thought and deed that help people live and work together as families, friends, neighbors, communities, and nations. Character education is a learning process that enables students in a school community to understand, care about, and act on core ethical values. Our world has become global. As your children grow, they will not only be citizens of their own country but of the world. As global citizens, they will need new skills. They will face daily challenges that the previous generation may not have experienced. The ability to understand, communicate, and work, among other cultures, is becoming more critical every day. Dallas International School focuses on the students' ability to learn academically, physically, and emotionally by promoting an environment classical in education, discipline in work, respectful of the institution, physical inactivity, and innovative in spirit. We believe in creating a learning environment where students are challenged to excel with academic purposes. Education in the early formative years must be familial, encouraging, and small in classroom size. As students progress, confidence in their language, math, and science skills builds until they become aware that imparted knowledge has a purpose in an innovative world. Although testing is classical and rigorous, the governing pedagogical board maintains unique flexibility to adapt additional coursework to the marketplace and universities' demands. We believe students must be prepared for all domestic and international higher education institutions and have a mastery of critical thinking and problem-solving to live and compete in our dynamic world. We offer world-renowned, accredited high school degree programs, including the International Baccalaureate and the prestigious French Baccalaureate. Students are immersion-taught in French and English with at least one additional language such as Spanish, Chinese, or German.

Yavneh Academy of Dallas offers an outstanding dual curriculum that combines the highest college preparatory courses with an unparalleled Judaic studies program. A community-based school in a Modern Orthodox setting, the school's unique mission goes beyond preparing students to excel in college and career – it prepares them to lead a life of integrity and honor. Yavneh's low student-teacher ratio allows each student's curriculum to be tailored to maximize their strengths and grants teachers unparalleled interaction levels. This individualized approach to education has been vital in the success of its students. And with composite SAT and ACT scores that are markedly higher than the national norm, it is no surprise that Yavneh graduates have gone on to attend many of the premier universities in the nation. Moreover, they have been offered over $8.3 million in merit scholarships to date. However, academic success is only half of the story. Yavneh students are distinguished by their leadership, civic responsibility, and commitment to Israel. With more than $100,000 raised annually for causes like Students Against Terrorism and each student typically accumulating over 250 hours of community service, Yavneh graduates go on to lead at their chosen universities and beyond. Yavneh's boys and girls work side-by-side in a nurturing environment to develop future community leaders in college and beyond.

Ursuline Academy of Dallas is an independent Catholic college preparatory school for young women in grades 9-12. Educating students for 144 years, the Academy is the oldest continuously operating school in Dallas. Ursuline educates young women for leadership in a global society with a distinguished tradition of academic excellence, innovation, and service. We are Catholic with an Ursuline identity that forms the foundation for all decisions, planning for the future, and how cherished traditions are translated into new contexts for new generations. Girls take center stage at Ursuline Academy of Dallas. Our students are strongly encouraged to develop their interests. And they are empowered to become bold leaders. Studies show that girls find it easier to excel and become more confident learners in a student-centered, all-girl setting. Throughout its 144-year history, Ursuline has lived in the center of both tradition and innovation. We are committed to providing a learning environment that stimulates creativity and curiosity, sparks innovation, and encourages collaboration. Engaging the entire Ursuline community, the faculty-led Excellence in Teaching initiative has examined the core skills, knowledge, and habits of mind and heart of effective teaching to produce a definition of teaching excellence for Ursuline Academy of Dallas. In its preparation, that definition has also considered the core values of Ursuline education and the writings of St. Angela Merici. The resulting Pillars of Teaching Excellence offers a foundation for all Ursuline initiatives, including developing a professional learning framework for faculty. Ursuline Academy is a school with a technology focus. It embodies this focus through the meaningful integration of technology into the academic curriculum and its students' active shaping as digital citizens. Students and employees are educated in the appropriate use of technology, and responsible digital citizenship principles are reinforced through school policies. With a strong commitment to technology training for all teachers, Ursuline encourages creative and innovative digital resources in the classroom. A wide range of technological tools is used at Ursuline to foster individualized skill development, student learning, and more effective assessments. Included, for example, are 3D printers, Blackboard's Collaborative Ultra, language labs, Office 365, Web 2.0 tools, scientific logging hardware and software, computer programming authoring tools, publication software for the student newspaper and literary magazine, and library research resources. Teachers also use technology to support their pedagogical approaches. Examples include the use of Story Remix, a video production and editing tool, and YouTube, together with our learning management system, to facilitate blended learning environments. Teachers have the freedom to explore different technologies to find those with which they are most comfortable and may use most effectively. Students have a more comprehensive range of technology-based learning techniques made available to them. Besides, all teachers participate in Microsoft Innovador Certification (MIE). Ursuline Academy offers a rigorous college preparatory curriculum with additional elective course work opportunities to support individual growth and development. Ursuline has also partnered with One Schoolhouse, an online curriculum, to maximize course offerings and minimize scheduling conflicts. These innovative learning models help in our student-centered world of learning. Living in the center of tradition and innovation is a defining characteristic of Ursuline education. The Academy continually strives to improve, both as an educational institution and as a center of culture and faith. Always looking to the future, creating classrooms for tomorrow is a priority in Ursuline's strategic roadmap. The most effective teaching and learning approaches in the 21st century put the student at the very center. Opportunities for students to collaborate with their teachers and other students are being built into the learning environment. Programs, schedules, curriculum, and facilities are being designed to promote various learning pathways – project-based learning, design-thinking, entrepreneurial and maker-driven approaches, blended personalization approaches, online instruction, and experiential learning. Most important is the dedicated, talented faculty who are mission-congruent, embrace innovation with a growth mindset, engage in personalized learning, and stay open to new approaches. Ursuline Academy commits to educating global leaders focusing on the Ursuline mission through active service, intellectual enrichment, co-curricular programs (locally and abroad), sister school relationships, and other partnerships. Students engage in a variety of transformative experiences that help them grow in global competence. As they get to know and touch the realities of other cultures, they gain a new appreciation for different perspectives and a better understanding of what it means to be a citizen of the world. They also have the opportunity to share a unique sisterhood with students around the globe. View full school

The Episcopal School of Dallas is an academic community where excellence is the standard. Our college preparatory curriculum, led by a nationally-recognized faculty, is complemented by a full array of artistic and athletic programs, daily chapel, experiences in the outdoors, and a myriad of opportunities to lead and serve others. ESD's outstanding balance of rigor and nurture inspires students to maximize their potential and live a life of purpose. The Episcopal School of Dallas prepares young men and women for lives of intellectual discovery, integrity, and purpose. The School develops the unique talent and potential in each student and embraces sound learning, discipline, and faith as essential elements of an educated conscience. The Founding Tenets of The Episcopal School of Dallas was created simultaneously with the original Mission Statement. These Tenets provide the structure that enables the faculty, staff, and students to work and study in a faith-centered environment. Nurturing a spiritual relationship with God through the use of the Book of Common Prayer within the context of a pluralistic and diverse student and faculty population. Experiencing mutual trust, respect, and honor while preserving individual identity, uniqueness of thought, and personality. Preparing students for actions that promote the common good by studying religious and moral paradigms of history and contemporary thought. Actualizing the common good's advancement through acts of mercy and renewal here and within the broader community. Daily worship, community experiences, and studies in ethical decision-making prepare members of this community for service to others, the highest manifestation of God's presence in our lives. Students learn best through the active pursuit of knowledge and the relevant application of that knowledge. We believe this is best achieved in a community that fosters critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, personal responsibility, and intellectual risk-taking in a safe and open environment. ESD educators endeavor to guide students through inquiry-based, real-world learning experiences that yield enduring understanding and encourage them to become lifelong learners in an ever-changing global society. ESD promotes enduring understanding through classroom experiences and real-world applications that involve students in the in-depth discovery and development of their talents, skills, and acquired knowledge. Students think flexibly as they engage in complex, ambiguous, and thought-provoking educational experiences. Students draw upon higher-order cognitive and soft skills to develop questions and address problems. Students take responsible risks that appropriately challenge their competence and comfort. Students strive for accuracy as they persevere toward achievement at high standards. Students think about their thinking as they reflect on their achievement and remain open to continuous learning. In the same way that our Mission Statement informs everything else we do at The Episcopal School of Dallas, it is also the starting point for envisioning what it means for our students to be "globally educated." Many of our youngest students will live through the 21st Century and beyond, into the now unimaginable 22nd. To prepare them for the rapid changes and ultimate unknowns of that life span, we need to offer opportunities for them to learn about the diversity, the delights, the challenges, and the experiences that the broader world provides them. The Global Education program encompasses four main aspects of student life at ESD: curriculum, programming, travel, and extracurricular activities. Global issues, geography, language, culture, and history are interwoven throughout classes at all grade levels. Visitors worldwide bring their perspectives to challenge and enrich our students' understanding of the world and their places in it. A growing number of opportunities exist for students to travel globally to learn and serve. At The Episcopal School of Dallas, we maximize classroom space, both indoors and out, allowing our students to learn through experience and exploration. ESD has developed a large portion of Wolf Run Ranch as an outdoor education center thanks to the generosity and guidance of the late Pete Gifford of Dallas. Located just outside of Anna, Texas, Wolf Run provides a 300-acre environment for a community's experiences. Nature trails, a lake, a low ropes course, two bunkhouses, a lodge, an outdoor chapel, and a working ranch create unique learning and self-growth opportunities for students grades one through twelve. As a school, we strive daily to create a safe, nurturing environment for all of our students, regardless of their background. Our program's goal is not merely to make students aware of the diversity in the world around or to accept it. The ESD graduate can appreciate another person for the unique qualities and background that s/he brings to the school community. In doing so, we want all students, faculty, and staff to know that we are one body, one School, regardless of our differences.
