Golden Rule Schools

The mission of Golden Rule Schools is to establish a safe and student-centered environment where knowledge and literacy are encouraged through learning activities that are developmentally appropriate, individually paced, and attuned to each student's academic performance and interests.

Golden Rule Schools honors and respects the cultural and ethnic differences of our students. As students develop the problem-solving skills needed for the 21st century, they will be encouraged to live, study, and strive together to be effective and productive citizens in the diverse and technology-driven global economy.

Golden Rule Schools is a system of 5 tuition-free public charter schools serving students from PreK3 through 8th grade across the Dallas Metro Area. We are rooted in one enduring belief: that every child, regardless of background, learning style, or zip code deserves an education of the highest quality.

For over 25 years, families across the Dallas Metro Area have chosen our small schools for the same reason: they want a school that truly sees their child. Our safe and secure campuses are places where students are supported as individuals, and prepared to thrive in a diverse and technology-driven world. Smaller classes, caring teachers, and a community that shows up for their students every single day.

At Golden Rule, we meet every student where they are. Our approach is built around the whole child: their educational, social, emotional, and family needs. Here is what makes up the GRS difference:

We help guide our students and their families from the first day of PreK to the last day of 8th grade.

Each of our small safe campuses carries the same commitment to safety, community, and student success.
