    About Alcuin

    Alcuin was founded in 1964 as the Montessori School of Dallas, initially operating in a Highland Park house before later moving to its current Churchill Way campus.

    The school combines Montessori education with International Baccalaureate Middle Years and Diploma Programmes.

    How the school fits into a Dallas home search

    The Churchill Way campus is close to Preston Hollow and the broader North Dallas private-school cluster.

    Alcuin’s history beginning in Highland Park creates a genuine connection between the school and the Park Cities even though its current campus is farther north.

    Relocating around an independent school

    Private-school enrollment does not work like a public attendance boundary. A family can compare several neighborhoods and choose the home that best balances school access, work commute, housing style, other children's schools and daily life. The best answer is often a corridor rather than one ZIP code.

    Stonebriar does not represent the school and does not set or interpret its admission rules. Confirm current admission, calendar, transportation and campus information directly with the school before making a housing decision.

    Move timing for school families

    When possible, plan packing and move-day access around school orientation, the first week of classes, major travel and closing dates. For high-rise or apartment destinations, reserve elevators and loading access early. For estate or large-home moves, separate the family's immediate school-week essentials from the main household shipment so uniforms, devices, medications and daily-use items stay accessible.

    Alcuin relocation FAQ

    Alcuin serves 18 months through age 18. Families should confirm current admission and division details directly with the school because programs and entry points can change.

    Alcuin is in the North Dallas area. Housing decisions can include multiple nearby Dallas neighborhoods depending on work commute, sibling schools and preferred home type.

    Usually not. School access matters, but families often balance work commute, sibling schools, home style, airport access, activities and long-term housing plans at the same time.

    Confirm the school calendar, move date, access at both homes, packing schedule, utilities, address changes and temporary housing if needed. Avoid assuming a building or neighborhood policy without confirming it directly.
