We Don't Teach To A Test

We have 85 years of experience helping students discover a lifelong love of learning.

We wanted an environment in which we felt 100% comfortable leaving our 4 young children on a daily basis. Impressed by the reputation of Southfield, the fine arts enrichment and the 6:1 student-teacher ratio for preschoolers alone, I enrolled all 4 of our children within a day of our tour. 50% of lower school teachers hold Master’s degree or higher, and watching our children grow with confidence, loving to read, loving to wake up to go to school, we knew we were in the right place.” Jordan Thaxton

“Six years and three kids in…I am so happy that Southfield is our home. The teachers are responsive and caring, the students/families are wonderful, and the administration is more accommodating to special needs than could be expected. This place truly has a different perspective, and it’s one that I couldn’t live without at this point. Thanks to everyone who makes Southfield so special.” Andrew Banker

85 Years of Excellence

Have we mentioned we’ve been inspiring young minds since 1934. Our exploratory, hands-on approach develops inquisitiveness and a love of learning. We let our children stretch their legs with a daily recess and PE through middle school because their brains work better when they’ve had a chance to move around a little. Library time doesn’t phase out as our students enter middle school. There are a lot of things that set us apart, but it’s best told on campus, come visit us!
