About Shelton
Shelton School began in 1976 when a group of parents, determined to provide the best education for their children,
approached Dr. June Shelton to start a school specifically for children with special learning needs. They, like Dr. Shelton,
knew that not all children learn in the same way.
Today, Shelton is not only the world’s largest school specializing in learning differences, it is the leader in empowering
learning-different students to leverage their uniqueness for success in college and the world. No other school holds the
expertise, experience, services and reputation under one roof as does Shelton.
Accredited by Independent Schools Association of the Southwest, Shelton School is an independent, nonsectarian,
coeducational, nonprofit school whose purpose is to provide excellence in education to students of average to
above-average intelligence with learning differences from Early Childhood through 12th grade. The school offers a
comprehensive curriculum with a strong academic orientation and a nurturing family atmosphere, which considers the
physical, intellectual, emotional and social growth of each student.
