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.”

With joyful energy, our Kindergarteners kicked off the spring trip season in grand style! Their Day in the Woods was filled with creepy, crawly creature discoveries, lunch with a view, a pit cave, lots of laughter, bravery, persistence, thoughtful reflections, and countless memories made along every mile of their hike. Thanks, Kindergarten, for a wonderful start to one of our favorite times of year! #AdventureEducation #IndependentStudentCenteredCommunityRooted #ExperientialEducation
As part of their Now What? Theme, Eighth Grade students continued their service work this week by partnering with @seedstlouis to support the @carondelet_food_patch, a community garden that provides free access to fresh fruit. Our soon-to-be-graduates rolled up their sleeves, grabbed wheelbarrows and shovels, and went to work digging holes in preparation for planting fruit trees. #NowWhat #WeLearnEverywhere #IndependentStudentCenteredCommunityRooted #ExperientialEducation
Continuing their inquiry into special family recipes and favorite foods, the Kindergarten children block-printed a class-sized picnic blanket and adorned matching napkins with their delicious designs. Cherries, cake, doughnuts, and grapes are just a few of the lovingly etched images created to reflect the children`s personal stories and cultural connections as part of this special project. #ReggioEmiliaInspired #ReggioInspired #FoodAsCulture
