Our Mission: Dexter Southfield School helps boys and girls develop their individual talents and build an ethical foundation for life. Students learn to lead with confidence, serve with compassion, and live by the motto, "Our Best Today, Better Tomorrow."
Let us show you what’s happening on campus. Attend an Open House or schedule a campus tour, meet our students and faculty, and ask questions. We are confident that at the end of this process you will understand all that sets Dexter Southfield apart.
"The art studio is a place where our students reflect on their world with an open mind and a fresh vision. They're using different kinds of tools to communicate their ideas as they learn to appreciate the significance of sharing their point of view with others through art."
—Claudia Goldie, Visual Arts Faculty Member
At Dexter Southfield, we pride ourselves on the strength of student-teacher relationships, which is why most faculty members coach one or more seasons. It gives both students and teachers the opportunity to get to know one another on multiple levels. This relational model improves communication, mentoring and trust.
Dexter Southfield teaches beyond the classroom, encouraging students to stretch physically and creatively. Arts and daily athletics exercise each student's body and mind in new and important ways and are core components of the Dexter Southfield experience.
Invest in our students and the Dexter Southfield experience through giving.
Our program provides a broad academic and ethical foundation through experiences inside and outside the classroom, and it teaches critical thinking, teamwork, and innovation. There is a deliberate progression through all three grade divisions — lower (Pre-K-Class 5), middle (Classes 6-8), and upper (Classes 9-12) — from the building blocks of understanding information, recognizing patterns, and applying expertise, to increasingly sophisticated analyzing, evaluating, and inventing.
When they join Dexter Southfield, lower school students are welcomed into a nurturing community that sees the best in each child. As children move through this time of amazing growth, they learn by doing — they explore, play, ask questions, participate, work in teams, build strong habits, and make connections. More
Dexter Southfield’s middle school program is characterized by a joyful sense of community, collaboration, and care. Our faculty are passionate about educating girls and boys as they not only help students prepare for the transition to the upper school, but also for the opportunities to build character and confidence, and to be of service to others.

While learning across all major disciplines, upper school students move from a grounding in facts, to mastering logical organization, to drawing their own conclusions and expressing themselves powerfully. In this way, students make connections, see things from different perspectives, and achieve new goals. More
