After touring 9 (yes, 9) independent schools in the St. Louis area, Community School was hands down the best school for our daughter. They truly "actively" value the holistic growth of a child (academically, socially, mentally, and their unique personalities and talents). They are personable and take the time to get to know families. They also acknowledge that there are always areas in which they can improve so they often seek input/opportunities to improve for the sake of students, families and the community. And their staff is HAPPY. During my many tours, I wanted to know how the staff was treated/evaluated/valued. The staff genuinely seemed happy and that hasn't changed over the years we have been there.

This is a special place. I have three wildly different children at the school and each one is excited to go school each morning. The teachers really “get” each of my kids and how best to inspire them. Our children are encouraged to take risks and try new things, which has led to each of my children discovering a new passion. It has been a true joy to be a part of the Community family.

Community School is in a league of it's own. Through the arts, foreign language, public speaking, music, outdoor exploration, and hands on learning in all areas, children thrive and grow to their fullest potential. The dedicated, passionate teachers at Community School make the magic happen each and every day.
