At The College School, we believe in the transformative power of experiential learning.
With a commitment to academic excellence and outdoor education, we foster a vibrant community where students don’t just acquire knowledge—they apply it, developing the resilience and adaptability to thrive in an ever-evolving global landscape.
Through authentic experiences, students stretch their thinking, strengthen their character, and gain the confidence to take risks and use their voices. In our close-knit community, every day offers a chance to grow stronger, braver, and more determined.
“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.”

Fifth Grade’s third trimester theme, Steps and Systems, weaves together a study of human body systems, movement, ballroom dancing, hiking, and backpacking. The ballroom dancing component is led by @dancemovesstl. This social and emotional learning program uses ballroom dance to help fifth graders build skills such as maturity, self-reliance, teamwork, and compassion. Students learn six different dances, along with the history and cultural context behind each one. Together, these experiences deepen students’ understanding of how systems work together, while empowering them to navigate new challenges with courage and grace.

The Big Benders` adventure to @litzsinger_road_ecology_center this week was filled with discovery! They tested nearly every sense as they observed nature in many ways. They looked, they listened, they touched. The morning was a beautiful reminder that at TCS, learning is an adventure.
