    About Shelton

    Shelton was founded in Dallas in 1976 by Dr. June Shelton. The school moved to its current Preston Road campus after decades of growth across several locations.

    Shelton serves Early Childhood through Grade 12 with individualized, structured multisensory instruction designed for students with learning differences.

    How the school fits into a Dallas home search

    The Preston Road campus is farther north than the Park Cities, so commute planning may favor Far North Dallas, Plano-border neighborhoods or Tollway access.

    Families relocating for Shelton may be prioritizing continuity of specialized educational support above a specific municipal boundary.

    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.
