Why St. Philip's?

St. Philip’s School and Community Center is a noted private school in South Dallas committed to developing bright and compassionate leaders of tomorrow. Located minutes from downtown Dallas, our school provides a rigorous faith-based education to students from PK to 8th grade. Students receive a robust academic experience enriched with project-based learning, differentiated instruction, STEM, robotics, and fine arts. 

To us, the “and” is the most important word in our name. By combining an innovative school with a thriving community center, we have an environment where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. St. Philip’s models a behavior of serving all God’s people with dignity and compassion. The core values of educational excellence, community service, integrity, self-confidence, and cultural awareness prepare our students with an educational foundation that far exceeds academics – these values prepare them for life after St. Philip’s.
