Dexter Southfield

Dexter Southfield is an independent, college-preparatory day school for girls and boys in Classes PreK-12. Our PreK program centers on fostering a sense of self-awareness, empathy, and community among our young learners. Through guided play, cooperative activities, and meaningful interactions, children learn to identify and express their emotions, build positive relationships, and navigate social situations with growing independence. Located on a world-class campus just five miles from downtown Boston, Dexter Southfield helps boys and girls develop their individual talents and build an ethical foundation for life. Students learn to lead with confidence, serve with compassion, and live by the motto, "Our Best Today, Better Tomorrow." Through time well spent here, students are provided a foundation for excellence as they gain the character, confidence, and compassion to become leaders, lifelong learners, and engaged citizens prepared to achieve their personal best through every stage of life.
