For physicians relocating to Dallas–Fort Worth with children, the quality of education is often as important as proximity to hospitals. This guide reviews top private schools and education options around major medical hubs, and how a real estate advisor like Nitin Gupta helps you match home location to school access.
Why Education Matters to Physician Families
Moving to a new city means not only selecting a home and hospital, but also ensuring your children get world-class education. As a medical professional, your schedule is demanding — you need schooling that’s reliable, high quality, and aligns with your lifestyle priorities.
Top Private Schools & Educational Options in DFW
Below is a curated list of prominent private institutions and special programs serving neighborhoods near major hospitals and luxury suburbs in Dallas–Fort Worth:
School / Program | Grade Levels | Notable Features | Nearby Areas |

How School Location Impacts Home Choice
Priority school districts first, then commute: Sometimes selecting a home near your chosen school may outweigh minimal commute differences.
Balancing hospital proximity and school access: For example, you may prefer a suburb farther from one hospital but closer to a preferred school.
Future resale & demand: Homes zoned near top private schools tend to appreciate more and maintain demand across buyers relocating.
Luxury Neighborhoods with Excellent Private School Access
Here are some suburbs and neighborhoods where luxury homes and top private school access align particularly well:
University Park / Highland Park / Preston Hollow — near St. Mark’s, Hockaday, Parish Episcopal
Southlake / Westlake — home to The John Cooper School, proximity to Carroll ISD motors for public options too
Plano / Frisco — good access to Prestonwood Christian and other faith-based schools
Dallas neighborhoods (East Dallas, Lakewood, Oak Lawn) — access to Parish Episcopal, Bishop Lynch, Jesuit
Irving / Coppell area — closer to Cistercian and other private programs

Consider alignment with your values (religious, international, boarding options)
