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.”

🎯 Bullseye!
Session Four of TCS Summer Adventure Day Camps hit the mark with an archery-themed week packed full of skill-building and target-inspired fun! Some campers took aim with real bows and arrows, while others launched paper airplanes and popsicle-stick catapults, testing their precision with rubber band challenges and putt-putt. They even designed their own bow and arrows, bowled strikes, ran relay races, and faced off in a kickball game.
Campers cooled off with two much-needed pool days, played in the creeks at both campuses, and refueled with archery-inspired snacks that were as clever as they were tasty. 🎯🏊♂️🍢
Whether hitting the bullseye or cheering each other on, these campers brought the focus, fun, and friendly competition all week long! #TCSSummerAdventureDayCamps

Watershed Wonders + Creek Keepers makes for one incredible week!
Session Three of The College School’s Summer Adventure Day Camps made a splash as students dove into the world of water ecosystems! From creek explorations and pool days to river water bottle crafts and snack-tivities, our campers learned why it’s so important to protect our lakes, rivers, and streams. 🌊
Our campers investigated water cycles, explored our LaBarque Creek, and experimented inside and out to discover how water connects us all. 🌍
Protecting our waters starts with curiosity, and these young creek keepers are leading the way! 🐟🌿

Unearthing Fun + History! 🦕⛏️🌊
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!
