Our Mission: Dexter Southfield School helps boys and girls develop their individual talents and build an ethical foundation for life. Through a classical education and single-sex programs, students learn to lead with confidence and serve with compassion, living by the motto, "Our Best Today, Better Tomorrow."

We invite you to experience Dexter Southfield for yourself.  Attend an Open House or schedule a campus tour, meet our students and faculty, and ask questions. Explore the website, and contact the Admissions Office to be placed on our mailing list and receive our admissions materials.

"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.
