Kiddie Academy®
Locations in Chesterfield, Des Peres, and O'FallonOur academies offer a safe and nurturing private small preschool environment with degreed teachers dedicated to making every day engaging for students. Each student in our Jr. Kindergarten gets a Chromebook for use in the classroom. Most school districts in our area start using Chromebooks in Kindergarten, and learning to work with them is as important as learning to hold a pencil. We give our students an early start on developing the skills they'll need for success in elementary school. We offer Chess Club, Soccer, and other enrichments with no added fees. We have a strong partnership with our families and a diverse and inclusive community. We’re enrolling now for Fall 2023.
New City School
New City School students (age 3 – 6th Grade) engage joyfully in learning by cultivating their personal strengths and passions to achieve academic excellence. Students are encouraged to build community and advocate for a more just and equitable world through a challenging curriculum that incorporates social-emotional learning in a culturally and racially diverse learning environment to help prepare graduates to lead in the classroom and beyond. New City School is excited to introduce newly renovated classroom spaces for their youngest learners (3s through Kindergarten) this school year, which include larger instruction areas and an emphasis on naturalist themes.
