The College School

Location: Webster Groves, Missouri

Selecting a school for your child is among the most important decisions you will make as a parent. The College School is exceptionally well crafted to address the academic needs of today's students, but more importantly, we excel in addressing the emotional and developmental needs of children. Fundamentally, we believe the most important goal of a quality school is to help develop exceptionally positive self-images and to inspire children to want to learn - not just in school, but throughout their lifetimes. We strive to help young people become confident, healthy, constructive, talented and well-adjusted young adults.

Mission Statement

Our diverse community works as a partnership, cultivating excellence in academics, character and collaboration, as we prepare our students for life-long learning, service and citizenship.

We are part of a larger community of educators, dedicated to creating new and vital visions of learning and teaching.
