• Answer:

  There are several colleges in the area. Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas Christian University in Ft Worth, University of Dallas (Catholic) in Irving, North Texas State Universty in Denton (about 1 hour north), University of Texas at Arlington, and 2 community colleges, North Lake in Irving and Mt. View in Dallas. You didn't mention if you had boys, girls or both so I'll list private schools for both. There are many parochical schools, but I'm not listing them. These are very good, well known schools in the area. Greenhill School in Addison, grades 1-12 for both, Hocaday in Dallas, K-12 girls only, Cistercian Prep in Dallas (near Valley Ranch) 5-12 boys only, Bishop Lynch Catholic School in Dallas, 9-12 both, Ursuline Catholic Academy in Dallas, 9-12 girls only, Jesuit College Prep in Dallas, 9-12 boys only, First Baptist Academy in Dallas (downtown) K-12 both, Episcopal School of Dallas, 1-12 both, St Marks in Dallas, 1-12 boys only. Addison is a very nice but small suburb -- 5 sq miles. Valley Ranch is actually the northern most part of Irving -- much nicer than the rest of that suburb. Highland Park is a section of Dallas that someone else mentioned to you -- very expensive area with excellent schools -- public schools there would be fine, but not in Dallas ISD, Carrollton, that was also mentioned to you, is not one I'd recommend, Plano, Frisco, Coppell, and Flower Mound are nice suburbs. I can't help you if you actually want to live in Dallas because I'm just not familiar with which areas are good. I hope this is helpful and welcome to the area.
