Shelton admits learning-different students of any race, color, sex, religion, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national and ethnic origin in the administration of our educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Leave a Legacy of Learning Without Limits

For more than 50 years, Shelton has helped students with learning differences discover their strengths, build confidence, and realize their extraordinary potential.

A planned gift is a powerful way to ensure that future generations of Shelton students continue to thrive.

Through thoughtful estate planning, you can:

  • Provide lasting support for students who learn differently
  • Strengthen innovative programs and expert faculty
  • Align your philanthropic goals with tax and estate planning benefits
  • Leave a legacy that reflects your values and belief in Shelton’s mission

Your legacy can help ensure that every bright mind is seen, supported, and celebrated for years to come.

 

The Shelton Delphi Society

The Shelton Delphi Society honors alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, and friends who have chosen to include Shelton in their estate plans.

Established in 2003 by the Board of Directors, the Society recognizes those who are shaping Shelton’s future through planned and legacy gifts.

The name “Delphi” comes from the ancient Greek town known for its oracle — a symbol of vision and foresight. In that spirit, members of the Delphi Society help chart the future of Shelton, ensuring that students with learning differences will always have a place to learn the way they learn best.

Members are recognized annually in Shelton’s Report of Gifts (unless anonymity is preferred).

You may join the Delphi Society by documenting a planned gift through:

  • A bequest in your will or trust
  • A beneficiary designation
  • A retirement asset gift
  • Or another estate planning vehicle

If you have already included Shelton in your plans, we would be honored to thank you and welcome you into the Delphi Society.

A Legacy in Action

Joyce and Bob Pickering have devoted their lives to education and to advancing the field of learning differences. Their legacy at Shelton spans decades of leadership, innovation, and unwavering belief in every student’s potential.

By including Shelton in their estate plans, they have ensured that the transformative work they championed will continue for generations.

As Joyce shared:

“It is so exciting and rewarding to see a student who has struggled realize they are smart, creative, and capable when taught the way they learn. We chose Planned Giving to Shelton and named the school in our will. We hope these services will continue forever.”

Their story reflects the heart of planned giving at Shelton: investing in a future where every student can thrive.
