June Shelton School & Evaluation Center enjoys the distinction of being the world's largest independent school for bright children with learning differences. Founded in 1976, Shelton is dedicated to making a difference by serving and empowering the lives of students who learn differently. While the school is clearly the centerpiece of its mission, Shelton is more than a school. It encompasses three other major components, all open to the community: a speech and language therapy program, an evaluation center, and a teacher-training program.

Shelton is actively involved with research and collaborates with major medical institutions in the Dallas area, including Children's Medical Center and UT Southwestern Medical Center. The Shelton School is a co‑educational, non‑sectarian school that serves approximately 900 students with learning differences in grades EC to 12. The Shelton School is accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS).
