Bellerive Elementary School

Andrews Academy has taught St. Louis children since 1979, and our Creve Coeur campus on North Mason Road serves students from junior kindergarten through sixth grade on a wooded campus with gardens and nature trails. We are an independent, non-religious, co-educational private elementary school and a member of the Independent Schools of St. Louis. Our curriculum builds strong skills in math, reading, writing, spelling, grammar, science and social studies, alongside art, computer science, library, music, Spanish, physical education and performing arts. Spanish begins in kindergarten. Classes are small, students give presentations at regular all-school assemblies, and field trips are part of the academic program. Hands-on STEM work has included the SeaPerch underwater robotics competition, and students take on projects tied to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The building includes science labs, research libraries, a performing arts stage, a gymnasium and spaces for technology, music and art, with open fields for outdoor learning and sports. Our Student Ambassador Program leads community service projects and a Little Free Library. We also offer sports, before and after care and a summer camp, and financial assistance is available.

Patti Greenberg started Greenways Academy in 1995 as an option for children who struggled in a traditional classroom. Today we are a private online school serving more than 1,200 students in kindergarten through 12th grade around the world, accredited by Cognia and WASC, with fully certified teachers. Students enroll full time for a Greenways diploma or part time for a single course, whether that is a world language, an elective their school does not offer or credit recovery. Classes are asynchronous, so traveling athletes, young actors, students with medical conditions and anyone who works best at their own pace can learn from home. We draw curricula from Edmentum, Apex, Rosetta Stone, Florida Virtual and other providers, and offer honors, AP, NCAA-approved and University of California A-G approved courses. Teachers work one to one with students and adjust coursework for 504 plans and IEPs. Weekly House advisory meetings teach life skills such as money management, and our Career Ready Academy offers industry certifications. Juniors and seniors can take dual enrollment classes through Arizona State University.
