The College School

The College School is an independent, PreK-Eighth Grade school in Webster Groves, Missouri that was founded on the tenets of experiential education. 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. Serving nearly 200 families, our mission is to explore the world through authentic experiences, empowering students to engage deeply and be ready for what is next.
