"Shelton is probably one of the most cherished schools in Dallas, with a national reputation as a leader in LD education. Parents say there is a good balance of academics, structure, discipline and loving remediation." - D Magazine

Founded in 1976 by Dr. June Shelton, Shelton School is a private, non-sectarian, co-ed school serving intelligent children with learning differences. It has been the turning point for thousands of students. Shelton's individualized, structured multisensory academic program, especially written for learning-different students, challenges students by building the necessary skills. Shelton's niche is providing positive, practical solutions to the problems of learning-different students, with the goal of remediation and return, where possible, to the mainstream classroom. For some, Shelton's full school program is optimal for the duration of their undergraduate days.

One of the greatest instructional needs for learning-different students is that of a highly structured, small class setting. With Shelton's average teacher-to-student ratio of one to six, students in grades preschool through 12 are automatically given a head start on their road to successful learning.

The school is accredited by Independent Schools Association of the Southwest.
