<p><strong>I want a school where my child can ________ . </strong></p>
<p>Akiba is that school.  Whether your blank reads “get an extraordinary education,” “gain a deepened understanding of our Jewish heritage,” “develop moral character,” or simply “be loved,” Akiba answers the call for parents who seek a stellar Jewish educational experience for their child.</p>
<p>Grounded in a foundation that nourishes children with a balance of Torah, unparalleled education, and moral values, Akiba provides the best environment for open-minded Jewish families who want their children to become forward-thinking, engaged citizens of the world. Akiba was the first Jewish day school in Dallas and, as the only day school accredited by both NAEYC and the JECEI in the southwest, remains at the forefront of Jewish education today.</p>
<p>As part of Akiba’s education, knowledge of Jewish tradition and law are cornerstones. Akiba teaches ethical standards and a belief in the dignity of every human being. Of paramount importance is the teaching of Middot (values) inherent in Torah-based moral practice.   The general studies program is just as impressive. Courses include language, science, mathematics, social studies, music, and the arts. Our campus provides students with access to innovative and cutting-edge technology, arts facilities, science labs and cultural programs. Sports and learning healthy competition are part of this balanced education as well. Akiba has a strong athletic program with championship teams in both volleyball and basketball.</p>
<p>We are now accepting applications for limited spaces in kindergarten through fifth grade. Please visit <a title="Akiba Academy of Dallas" href="http://www.akibaacademy.org/" target="_blank">akibaacademy.org</a> or call 214-295-3400.</p>

<p>Prestonwood Christian Academy (PCA), with over 1400 students in pre-kindergarten 3 through grade 12, is a dynamic, biblically-based program. It is located in West Plano, just off the North Dallas Tollway. Intertwined in all aspects of PCA is the philosophy of Kingdom Education that weaves the student’s spiritual and educational experiences with the church, home, and school. PCA is committed to the family and developing biblical worldview students who are graduating to attend major universities across the country.</p>
<p>Students at every age, every level are successful at PCA, and they excel in all areas. Through their academic accomplishments, nearly $5.8 million in scholarships was awarded to the Class of 2011. In athletics, PCA teams compete with excellence in a variety of sports and this year earned state championships in varsity football, basketball, soccer, track and tennis. Well-known for its excellence in fine arts, PCA’s International Thespian Society (ITS) troupe won a national title, and visual arts, choir, and band students were awarded regional and state awards among private schools across the state.  Of a recent PCA musical theatre performance, the Dallas Morning News wrote, “I can honestly say that I’ve never been to a better high school musical production.” Additionally, PCA offers programs distinctive to the Academy that encourage leadership development, including Future Problem Solvers and Student Leadership Institute. Students are encouraged to be servant leaders in their communities and around the world through programs such as PCA’s Minimester mission trips. The leaders of tomorrow attend PCA today.</p>
<p>The eternal perspective is the rudder, as PCA students learn, grow, and strive to do all things to the greater glory of God. Throughout the year, PCA works to serve and equip families through its acclaimed Family Conference, Biblical Worldview Institute, Kingdom Parent Institute, and Family Missions Trips.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Serving Bright LD Students Since 1976<a href="http://www.parkcitiespeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/DSCN4922-cropped_web.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-389 alignleft" title="DSCN4922-cropped_web" src="http://www.parkcitiespeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/DSCN4922-cropped_web.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="267" /></a></p>
<p>Learning differences (LD) affect about one person in seven.   When Dallas families believe their children could be among this number, they turn to Shelton, the largest private school worldwide serving intelligent children with learning differences.  The school is a recognized leader in LD education serving students EC – Grade 12.</p>
<p>Dyslexia, ADHD, and speech and language disorders are only some of the learning differences that bring students to Shelton.  Because LD students can have a difficult time in a traditional classroom, their chance for success may be limited.  Shelton’s individualized, structured, multisensory program designed specifically for LD students helps build the skills to successfully further a student’s education.  The school also offers a full array of extra-curricular activities, from sports to fine arts.  Shelton has been the turning point for thousands of students.  They succeed and thrive!</p>
<p>Shelton combines a strong academic curriculum with a nurturing family atmosphere that considers the physical, intellectual, emotional, and social growth of each student.  Shelton’s niche is providing positive, practical solutions to the problems of LD students.  Whether students leave Shelton to return to a mainstream classroom or head to college, they are prepared and ready for the next challenge.</p>
<p>Shelton also has a speech / language / hearing clinic, an evaluation center, and an outreach center, all open to the community.  Shelton provides extensive training for professionals and collaborates with UT Southwestern Medical School and UTD’s Center for BrainHealth on major research projects.</p>
<p>Shelton is accredited by Independent Schools Association of the Southwest.</p>

<p>Leading to success.</p>
<p>Founded in 1971, Lakehill Preparatory School is an academic community dedicated to the whole student. Lakehill combines a robust, college preparatory curriculum with opportunities for personal growth, individual enrichment, and community engagement. Small class sizes ensure a supportive learning environment and personal attention. From kindergarten through high school, every Lakehill student is encouraged to strive, challenged to succeed, and inspired to excel.</p>
<p>Lakehill’s Main Campus is located in the Lakewood neighborhood of east Dallas. The Roger L. Perry Campus, located just four miles from the Main Campus, is home to the Warrior Athletic Complex and the Alice and Erle Nye Family Environmental Science Center. This facility houses athletic fields, a field house, laboratories, classrooms, and meeting space. With over 40 acres of untouched land to explore, Lakehill students have the opportunity to experience nature in a pristine environment.</p>
<p>Lakehill students recognize the importance of involvement in their school and in the community. Athletics, the arts, and a wealth of student activities and organizations promote teamwork and help develop valuable leadership skills. Students also benefit from community service and are encouraged to embrace a spirit of volunteerism that will foster a life-long passion for service.</p>
<p>Choosing to enroll their children at Lakehill is often the last educational decision parents need to make until college. By building a solid academic foundation, Lakehill develops confident individuals prepared to succeed wherever their choices lead them. Through an extremely successful college counseling program, all Lakehill graduates attend college and are highly sought after by the nation’s top colleges and universities. Recent choices include the University of Southern California, University of Texas, Texas A&amp;M, SMU, Vanderbilt, and Vassar.</p>
<p>Lakehill is accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).<br />
