Welcome! St. Philip's School and Community Center, founded in 1946 as a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas, acknowledges that next to God, an excellent education is the most effective means of developing human capital.
As a private school in Dallas, we provide an unparalleled college-preparatory education fueled by a confluence of spirituality, self-determination, and service to others. Students leave St. Philip’s with high self-esteem and self-worth, ready to face the world with confidence. As a Community Center, we provide services and resources that assist seniors, families, and entrepreneurs in enhancing their quality of life.
We embrace the power of schools to impact neighborhoods by providing access to compatible social services such as transportation, healthcare, nutritional food, and safe places to learn and play. Our quest is to engage a diverse family of partners and supporters to sustain and perpetuate God’s mighty work through the ministry of St. Philip’s—for families within Southern Dallas and throughout the Metroplex.
At the heart of all we do are our Core Values:
Demonstrating God’s love for all people
Embracing everyone’s potential to be extraordinary
Serving others with dignity
Teaching values, building character and demanding integrity
Investing in positive community transformation
Nurturing self-confidence, individual sacrifice and cultural awareness
YOU BELONG!
We are humbled by God’s calling for us to educate children. We understand that our service to children and the community is not a rehearsal. To serve as good stewards of the many resources with which we have been graced, we hold ourselves accountable to the highest possible standards.
As we look to the future, we are excited to share that through the We Believe campaign, St. Philip’s is bringing even greater opportunities to life. Coming soon, we will open the Moody Performing and Fine Arts Center, housing a cafetorium, performing and fine arts classrooms, an art gallery, offices, outdoor learning spaces, and a storm shelter. Additionally, Promise Park will be a comprehensive athletic complex and community park designed to meet the needs of the St. Philip’s students and community members for years to come.
In our commitment to those we serve, we vow our sacrifice. St. Philip’s has touched the lives of many and strives to continue making a positive impact on the African American community and beyond. I invite you to schedule a tour and experience the unparalleled excellence St. Philip’s extends as a school, community center, and neighborhood change agent.
Sincerely,
