At The College School, we believe in the transformative power of experiential learning.

With a commitment to academic excellence and hands-on exploration, The College School fosters a vibrant learning community where students not only acquire knowledge but also apply it in real-world contexts, preparing them to thrive in an ever-evolving global landscape. Grounded in principles of curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, we inspire a lifelong love of learning and empower our students to make meaningful contributions to society.

Students at TCS explore the world through authentic experiences. Along the way, they are part of a close-knit community that allows them to be who they are and to use their voice. It’s no wonder students love coming to school.

“TCS has far exceeded my expectations in providing an education for my children. While there are more hands-on, experiential learning opportunities, it’s the way my children are taught to view the world that leaves the deepest impression. My children have learned more than just academics. They’ve learned life skills that they’ll carry with them well into adulthood.”

Last week, our Dean of Student Experience, Brandon Murray, had the privilege of serving on an expert panel hosted by Dr. Mary Chittooran at Saint Louis University. The panel discussion focused on ethical, caring decision-making in schools, where senior Education students shared insightful perspectives and approaches to navigating the complex challenges educators face. It was a meaningful conversation that highlighted the importance of compassion and integrity in shaping the future of education. We're proud to see our team contributing to such impactful discussions! #Education #EthicalLeadership #FutureEducators #SaintLouisUniversity
