My son attended this school, and he loved it. He learned to read, do arithmetic,speak Spanish, and write. He has learned to appreciate classical music and the fine arts. He also learned to ride a bike. You cannot ask for more; a great prep school!

PROS: Many

CONS: I wish it went through 12th grade!

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

by jimhillproduce at Citysearch

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
