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.”

2025 Graduate Spotlight: Eli
Three words you would use to describe TCS: If I had to describe TCS in just 3 words, I would say:
1. Encouraging- I was often pushed out of my normal comfort zone, and this helped me realize I am stronger than I think
2. Unconventional- no further words needed
3. Accepting
What’s your next big adventure? I’m attending St. John Vianney for high school in the fall. This summer, I’m looking forward to working on my family farm, showing my pigs at the county fair, and participating in air rifle competitions with 4H.
What’s your favorite TCS memory? I loved Seventh Grade bike camp. While the biking was fun, hanging out at the campsite together at the end of the day was my favorite. It didn’t hurt that the food was awesome, especially the pizza in Marthasville.
Eli, congratulations and best of luck!
