Who Thrives at The College School
TCS is especially powerful for curious, capable children who thrive when learning is active, meaningful and connected to the real world—and for families who want school to develop not only what their child knows, but who they are becoming.
We give children safe opportunities to take risks, make mistakes, and discover what they’re capable of.
“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.”

If there`s one thing our TCS community knows how to do, it`s show up with spirit! 🎃
The costumes were impressive, the energy was contagious, and the joy of celebrating together was everywhere you looked.
Have a safe and fun Halloween, TCS families!
In our Reggio Emilia-inspired Early Childhood program, children`s questions, ideas, and interests are the starting point for meaningful investigations that can unfold over weeks or even months.
Our Newport students have been especially fascinated by water...how it moves, how it behaves, and what happens when they interact with it. Their curiosity has sparked an ongoing exploration of movement, cause and effect, and the many wonders of water.
So, what better place to take their research than the St. Louis Aquarium?
With curious minds and plenty of questions, our young researchers had the opportunity to observe water and aquatic life in an entirely new setting, making connections between their classroom investigations and the world beyond! 🐠

A little messy. A lot of math. And some seriously hands-on science!
Inspired by the book How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?, our First Graders set out to investigate a big question: Can a pumpkin`s size, color, or number of ribs help predict how many seeds are hiding inside?
Armed with predictions and plenty of curiosity, students headed to @rogersproducewebster to select pumpkins of different sizes. They measured circumferences, examined colors, counted ribs, and then got their hands dirty scooping out the seeds!
Working in small groups, students counted seeds by tens, used hundreds charts, and compared their findings to see whether their predictions held up.
The grand total? More than 3,000 pumpkin seeds counted! And their data suggested that pumpkins with more ribs may have more seeds inside.
And the best part? They even toasted and tasted their research!
