City Academy is the only private, independent elementary school in Missouri providing scholarship support to all students.
Located in St. Louis City`s Penrose neighborhood, City Academy serves children, families and the community through exceptional education and bold expectations that empower children to overcome barriers. We believe a family`s geographic location and income should never be a barrier to accessing high quality education.
In most elementary schools in the U.S., the homeroom teacher is
expected to be a generalist. City Academy has embraced the
specialist model, which is more of an international approach to
teaching.Through the specialist model, City Academy teachers
instruct the one subject about which they are most knowledgeable.
This means experts in their chosen content area teach their
subjects to all students. The specialist model also allows for
greater depth in a subject area that supports the level of academic
rigor expected of City Academy students.
City Academy believes that both the social-emotional and
academic growth of each student is equal and necessary to address
the healthy development of the whole child. Academic programs
include STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math), violin
instruction for all students 1st-6th grade, Spanish instruction for
