A member of the National Association of Independent Schools, Selwyn provides the most thoroughly individualized, comprehensive and developmentally appropriate array of student-focused experiences in North Texas. Our students grow into independent thinkers and creative problem solvers who are highly resilient, emotionally intelligent leaders prepared for effective citizenship in a global society. The small student/faculty ratio and challenging academic programs at all levels require students to do their best to find success and to develop self-discipline and self-reliance. Students are encouraged to think clearly, independently, and creatively as they develop their potential. The curriculum is sequentially structured and designed to impart knowledge, develop skills, stimulate curiosity, and nurture positive values so that learning and caring will become lifelong pursuits. The Lower School emphasizes a progressive development of knowledge and skills in a strong intellectual and social curriculum while giving individual attention so that pupils develop their full potential in all academic and social areas. To further develop independence, the Middle School (grades 5-8) refines academic skills by focusing on a high school preparatory curriculum while providing opportunities for exploration and participation. The Upper School (grades 9-12) provides a college preparatory education that encourages its students to strive for excellence in all that they do by fostering the skills and habits they will need to pursue their education after graduation. The faculty is committed to the overall growth of the students and guides them in developing progressively greater degrees of self-confidence and social awareness. Students have opportunities to learn from each other and to develop skills in the classroom, athletics, and school organizations. In a spirit of cooperation and service, the school helps to maintain and enhance the campus through regular activities and assists the local community through special projects. Working closely with parents, we encourage students to develop and share their varied gifts with others to benefit their community and the world. 2432993 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false true false false false false false true false false false true false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false true 12 0 true 51 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true false true true false true false false X STEPHANIE GIBSON 9403826771 2270 COPPER CANYON RD ARGYLE TX 76226 DEBORAH HOF HEAD OF SCHOOL 40.00 0.00 X 135000 0 0 MATHEW BROWN BOARD CHAIR 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ALAN STUCKY Trustee 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL RUBENSTEIN Trustee 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH KELLER Trustee 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DARCY LOVELESS Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMES PARKER Trustee 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 135000 1 false false false 0 29691 106857 136548 AUXILIARY ACTIVITIES 611600 84033 84033 TUITION 611600 2851720 2851720 2935753 58458 58458 0 0 0 600000 111088 488912 488912 488912 29691 11580 -11580 -11580 0 0 other income 900099 15740 15740 15740 3623831 2951493 535790 0 560689 560689 0 0 135000 81000 54000 0 1657807 1173965 483842 0 175666 122966 52700 131984 92389 39595 0 13500 13500 0 0 0 0 28830 11433 17397 32778 32778 72327 72327 54990 27495 27495 0 139073 97351 41722 0 0 0 88435 61904 26531 0 140394 98276 42118 0 EDUCATION AND TRAINING 61628 61628 FIELD TRIPS 39369 39369 BAD DEBTS 9443 9443 FUNDRAISING EXPENSES 8655 6001 2654 8689 4528 4161 3359257 2432993 923610 2654 458518 482236 0 259029 85378 55397 276576 0 0 0 0 0 5166398 1150110 4240338 4016288 0 0 0 0 77859 119779 5091141 4980257 208604 162953 972871 833060 245000 254000 1121823 880884 8458 50401 2556756 2181298 X 2529385 2764936 5000 34023 2534385 2798959 5091141 4980257 264574 X false true X true false X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 107647 107647 4727912 819271 3908641 32079 32079 298760 298760 4016288 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 50401 50401 X 3063142 3063142 560689 560689 3623831 2798568 2798568 560689 560689 3359257 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The School is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) and has not been classified as a private foundation as defined in the Code. Income generated from activities unrelated to the Schools exempt purposes is subject to tax under Code Section 511. The School had no unrelated business income for the year ended May 31, 2025. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Schools tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the School has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the School, and has concluded that as of May 31, 2025, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.
