Upper School Student

Will '31

Middle School Student

As a new Dexter student, I am really happy with how much I have been able to do here. In one day, I can go from skating with my hockey teammates to learning about genetics in science to using the 3D printers.

Nadia ’26

Co-Class President

Axel '35

Lower School Student

I really love learning how things work, especially in the Innovation Lab. In STEM, I am building my own animation of a football player catching a ball. I have to think about every tiny movement. It is really hard, but that is what makes it fun.

Eli ’32

Middle School Student

At Dexter Southfield, teachers don’t just tell you to be a leader; they show you how to be one. I have learned strong conversation skills like greeting people correctly, giving a firm handshake, and having good eye contact.

Lower School Student

Hardy ’25

Alumnus

As a student-athlete, I can live out my personal best on the field and in the classroom knowing that my peers, teammates, coaches, and teachers are here to cheer me on.

Ms. Kent

Upper School Learning Specialist

When students walk through my door, there is an unspoken exchange—I believe in you.  That belief builds trust, and trust opens the door to learning and growth.

Ryder ’26

Upper School Student

Jordan ’19

Alumnus

The School provided me with many opportunities–having a rigorous course load, learning to tie a tie, and serving as an Admissions Ambassador–those all instilled valuable lessons. I felt like I belonged, and I developed confidence.

Patrick '27

Upper School Student-Athlete

The daily interactions with my peers and teachers have helped me grow as a leader. Learning from each other inspires me to give my all in the classroom and on the field. Here, kindness is the standard, and it's easy to want to work hard and be a role model.

Libby ’26

Upper School Student

Jia '32

Middle School Student

I have become more confident in myself and in my work. Even though my math class is hard this year, I'm really proud of my study habits, and I can see it pay off when I get good grades on my tests. 

Claire ’29

Current Student

Owen '26

Admissions Ambassador & Student-Athlete

Dexter Southfield combines rigorous academics, high-level athletics, and a strong sense of community all into one. While I have a long commute, I fully believe the drive is well worth it.

Orianna ’31

Middle School Student

My favorite part about Middle School is meeting new people. Our rotating schedule allows me to work closely with different classmates and learn from multiple teachers. Our teachers are so nice and care about our success in the classroom.

Mr.Logan

Middle School Faculty & Coach

An enormous part of my missions as an educator is to help boys and girls become young men and women of character through their thoughts, words, and actions.

Kiernan ’25

Ms. Scherzer

Middle School Art

I love that we have the resources and flexibility here to truly inspire creativity. Whether it’s using a laser cutter or working with clay, students get to explore, make mistakes, and grow.

Isabela '27

Upper School Student-Athlete

Whether it’s in the classroom, on the court, or during school events, people genuinely support each other and want to see one another succeed. I’ve grown by becoming more confident and willing to challenge myself because our community is so supportive.

Gavin '26

Upper School Student

Our community is dynamic and welcoming. Some students have been here for a long time while others are new to the Upper School. It feels like we can easily adapt to change as a community and provide a warm welcome to new students.

Beckett ’23

Alumnus

I am forever grateful for the faculty and fellow students who pushed me to be the best student and person I could possibly be.
