Realizing Potential

Every child has potential. Our job is to help them discover it.

At Saint Louis Public Schools, students are surrounded by opportunities to learn, explore and grow. From neighborhood schools rooted in their communities to specialized programs that draw students from across the city, families can find an educational experience designed to help their child thrive.

And because no two students have the same dreams, we don't offer just one path forward. We offer possibilities.

Together

Achieving Excellence

Success looks different for every student, but it starts with opportunity, strong instruction and high expectations.

Across Saint Louis Public Schools, students are making academic gains, earning college credit, developing career skills, competing on fields and stages, and preparing for what comes next.

Exploring Pathways

College or career? At SLPS, students don't have to choose between preparing for one or the other.

Students can earn college credit, pursue advanced coursework, gain hands-on experience, earn industry-recognized credentials and explore careers before they graduate. Whether a student's next step is a four-year university, community college, technical training, military service or the workforce, we help them build a pathway to get there.

Advanced Academics

Students ready for an academic challenge can pursue Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, gifted and other rigorous learning opportunities designed to prepare them for college-level work.

College Before Graduation

Why wait until after high school to begin college? Through dual-credit, dual-enrollment and Early College opportunities, eligible SLPS students can begin earning college credit while completing their high school education. Early College Academy provides a pathway for participating students to earn both a high school diploma and an associate degree.
