Private Schools in the St. Louis-St. Charles Area

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.

Community School is an independent preschool and elementary school serving families with children age 3 through Grade 6. Students excel in an environment that balances intellectual challenge and nurturing support. The 7:1 student-teacher ratio allows for individualized attention and active, experiential learning.

Visual and performing arts, physical education, and foreign language programs complement the academic curriculum, and the beautiful 18-acre campus provides a safe setting for exploration and a deeper understanding of concepts learned in the classroom. Community’s emphasis on service learning and character development helps build tomorrow’s leaders.
