The Hockaday School

The Hockaday School, founded in 1913, is one of the nation's premier all-girls independent schools, located in Dallas, Texas, serving students from Pre-K through Grade 12. The school enrolls approximately 1,100 students and is accredited by ISAS and SACS. Hockaday offers an exceptionally rigorous college-preparatory curriculum featuring over 30 Advanced Placement and honors courses, a globally recognised Model UN programme, and a thriving fine arts department. The school's 100-acre campus in north Dallas includes boarding facilities for students from across the US and internationally, with boarders comprising roughly 15% of Upper School enrollment. Hockaday's outstanding university placement record — with graduates attending Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, and other elite institutions — reflects the school's academic excellence. The school cultivates confident, intellectually curious young women prepared to lead in a global society.
