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.”

Our campers *dug* last week’s Summer Adventure Day Camp: Digging into Missouri’s Past!
From crafting dinosaur fossils and “excavating” bones in the sandbox to building forts, creating skits, and floating boats made from natural materials in the creek, these explorers did it all. 🌿🛶
They also dove into Missouri’s rich history, learning about rivers, cities, and landmarks, creating story necklaces, and some even visited the incredible Cahokia Mounds World Heritage Site. What a week of creativity, curiosity, and connection!

TCS Summer Adventure Day Camps are off to a buzzing start! 🐝🌼
Last week’s Pollinator Power theme celebrated the mighty creatures that keep our ecosystems thriving. Campers of all ages jumped into hands-on learning and outdoor fun: interviewing a beekeeper, exploring Shaw Nature Reserve, creating nature art and wildflower seed bundles, painting flower pots and planting seeds, splashing in the creek, and more!
Some even held a pollinator parade and scavenger hunt to celebrate the essential role pollinators play in our world. Talk about a sweet start to summer! 🌸🌍✨

Last week, we celebrated the TCS Class of 2025! Their speeches were heartfelt, humorous, reflective, and inspiring, beautifully capturing the spirit of their TCS journeys. Shaped by hands-on learning, meaningful relationships, and the transformative power of adventure education, these graduates are more than ready for what’s next. We will miss them, but we can’t wait to see where their next big adventures lead. Congratulations, Class of 2025!
