Shelton is a 501(c)(3) school in the DFW metroplex serving over 1k students in grades PK - 12th with a diagnosed learning difference. Our student population represents over 100 zip codes around the metroplex. Shelton’s niche is providing a customized educational approach with positive, practical solutions matching the needs of learning difference students.

While the school is clearly the centerpiece of its mission, Shelton is more than a school. It also encompasses three other major components — a speech & language therapy program, an evaluation center, and a teacher training program, all open to the community. In addition, Shelton is actively involved with research at major institutions, with the goal of identifying and applying the best practices that will help children, youth and their families.

The Shelton Parent Association has a goal of raising $1M each school year for the school and children with the annual auction being our largest event. Our annual auction raises funds for enhanced experiences in academic areas, fine arts, athletics, extra-curricular activities, and tuition assistance.  There are two parts to our auction - (1) the online / silent auction which is open to all students, parents, staff and friends of Shelton and (2) the live gala, which will be held on March 1st, 2024 of this year.  The online auction is open for the 10 day period leading up to the gala and has a wide range of items and experiences to bid on.  The live auction / gala sells approximately 550 tickets plus parent volunteers and has approximately 10-12 of our big ticket items and experiences.
