At The College School, experiential learning is not separate from a rigorous academic program: they are one and the same. It is through experiential education—learning through experience—that students master academic and personal skills. Students learn core subjects and critical life lessons through hands-on, thematic learning experiences. Lessons are taught both individually and within integrated thematic projects; this approach makes learning meaningful and makes lessons stick. Whether it’s activities happening between grade levels or across subjects, we know teaching interdependence helps link curriculum to real life experiences.

Founded in 1963, The College School is thriving and leading Independent School in the St. Louis area. We believe in experiential education, where children are connected to authentic lessons. Children learn to become leaders, collaborators, stewards, risk-takers, and critical thinkers. With a focus on academic excellence, we also believe that some of the most valuable lessons can be found in an arduous, yet safe, outdoor adventure education curriculum. See More
