A learning experience that last's a lifetime by Eric H. at InsiderPages

After searching and worrying for so long as to what school could nurture, teach and help our child grow in his early years, with trepidation we enrolled our son into the Carlisle School. Quickly, we discovered our choice could not have been better.

The Carlisle's ability to instill in our child a love of the arts and education, as well as athletics, was inspirational to witness. Today, five years later, he still returns regularly for visits and the Carlisle's remain some of his favorite people.

He is not unusual in this. It is a regular occurrence that students return to thank them for the great foundation of education and love that was instilled at the Carlisle School. So, don't have any trepidations. The Carlisle School will more than fulfill your child's need for a first school experience and they will leave with a strong educational foundation and love of learning.

Truly outstanding

by geniemeyer at Citysearch

The Carlisle School is truly amazing. Imagine sending your child to a cozy cottage with a large backyard full of playground equipment and toys. Imagine a schoolroom hung with pictures of the great masters of art, literature, and music. Imagine an easle for painting and creating. Imagine your kindergartner learning Robert Frost poems from memory and enjoying it. Imagine your child feeling loved, nurtured, respected and honored as an individual. Imagine your child learning more than you thought possible. Imagine the convenience of being able to drop off your child as early at 7:00 AM or pick up as late at 6 PM on the days when you need to, and not paying any extra fee. Imagine the best possible early childhood experience for your child, and you will perhaps get a glimpse of the Carlisle School.

• Pros: too many to name
• Cons: NONE

Top Notch School

This small school doesn't advertise; you must learn of it from friends.My son and daughter attended, and I couldn't have been more pleased. It is a classic in every sense. The children leave more poised and refined from their experience with the Carlisles. In many ways, it's like stepping back in the good part of the 40's.

Probably the best kindergarten in Dallas

by sahpmc at Citysearch

My three grandchildren attended this school, and all have had very successful educations. They were always more academically confident than their peers.

Dr. Richard Carlisle is a scholar, and Mrs. Carlisle is a gifted Montessorian -styled teacher.

This school reminds me of the great prep schools of the forties.

• Pros: superior on small scale
• Cons: wish it were larger and included 1-12
