Four pillars of an effective Pre-K through grade 12 education.
Dexter was founded in 2018 by a group of engineers, and named after the word Dexterity, which means readiness and grace in physical and mental activity. Dexter started as an after-school and summer program to promote STEM learning. Our camps centered around intensifying the learning experience for students who are interested in STEM. In 2018, our first cohort of 20 students (grades 3-10) began in the historic "Big Blue" building in downtown Wichita Falls. In 2021, we acquired the campus we currently use. Through much staff dedication and hard work, we have risen to a student population of about 130 on-campus students and received accreditation to offer high school diplomas to graduating students.
Our mission is to help students realize their full potential by developing strong academic foundations.
Our vision is a global network of private schools that help young people thrive.

Dexter is a Pre-K thru grade 12 school. Our preschool program accepts students into the enrollment process at the age of 4.
Dexter aligns with TEKS standards, and we follow the Core Knowledge Curriculum Series™, which provides comprehensive, content-rich learning materials based on the Core Knowledge Sequence. The Core Knowledge Sequence is a detailed outline of recommended content knowledge and skills to be taught in language arts, history and geography, visual arts, music, mathematics, and science. The Sequence complements the general skills and objectives typically found in state and local curriculum guides, along with knowledge-based learning. Knowledge-based schooling puts the emphasis of early education on teaching and learning an enabling core of broadly shared knowledge—enabling because it builds strong foundations for later learning and opens doors to effective participation and mutual understanding in the wider society.
Currently, we do not offer sports. We are looking to implement a tennis and cross country program next school year. At this time, we do offer a standard Physical Education class.
All of our electives focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). Our Fall 2022 electives include, but are not limited to: VEX Robotics, Egyptology, Computer Science Applications, Creative Writing, Forensic Science, Theater, and Math Counts.
