Green Park Lutheran School

Academy of Scholars Leadership and Learning Center is a private microschool in St. Louis for grades 6–11. Students learn in small, mixed-grade cohorts through direct instruction, guided practice, projects, Socratic dialogue, and experiential activities. Coursework spans STEM, entrepreneurship, fine arts, physical education, and leadership development, with mentors supporting each cohort.

Apple of Your Eye Learning Center has cared for and taught young children in South County St. Louis for more than 40 years. We are a state-licensed center enrolling children from six weeks old through kindergarten, and we are open year-round, Monday through Friday, from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Our preschool curriculum for three- and four-year-olds is built around play and covers language, mathematics, science, social science, fine arts, foreign languages, and large and small motor skills. Four-year-olds work on letter and number recognition, counting to 20, shapes and colors, writing their first name and holding a pencil correctly, along with social skills such as taking turns and using words to settle conflicts. Outdoor time is part of every day. Children go on field trips, and we run a summer camp program. Teachers meet with each family twice a year for parent-teacher conferences, and teachers guide behavior through redirection and time-outs.

We teach children who are deaf or hard of hearing to develop listening, spoken language and academic skills at Central Institute for the Deaf in St. Louis. Our early childhood center serves ages 3–5 through play, language activities and individual assessment-based instruction. Teachers collaborate with onsite audiologists, speech-language pathologists and an occupational therapist, and parents take part in learning. Our primary school serves ages 5–12, grouping students by their needs in each subject. Instruction includes reading, writing, math, social studies, speech and listening. We also teach self-advocacy and independence as students prepare for a general education setting.
