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.”

From having a buddy to being the big buddy!
Third Grade and Big Bend students met with their buddies this week, marking an exciting milestone for our third graders: their first year with a younger buddy of their own!
Now it’s their turn to offer a helping hand, make someone feel welcome, and discover what it means to be a role model.
Buddy relationships connect students across ages, giving younger students someone to look up to and older students opportunities to practice empathy, patience, and leadership. Through time together, familiar faces become friendships, helping build a school community where every student feels known and included.
Here’s to a year of learning, laughter, and growing together!

At The College School, the outdoors is part of our classroom. Every. Single. Week.
This is what learning looks like in our Middle School: navigating with maps, biking along the Meramec River, and investigating water chemistry and stream ecology.
These experiences are woven into our curriculum. Through teamwork, careful observation, and reflective journaling, students build a strong foundation in leadership and critical thinking. They learn to ask thoughtful questions, consider evidence, solve problems, and lead with confidence.
At TCS, we teach students HOW to think, encouraging them to explore ideas and draw their own conclusions. Wherever life takes them, that foundation goes with them.
