Students eating lunch

The extras aren’t extra.

Tuition at City Academy includes breakfast, lunch and snacks. It also includes our Early and Extended Day Program which allows parents/guardians to drop off their student as early as 7:00 a.m. and pick them up as late 6:00 p.m.

Students working on LEGO robotics

We put an emphasis on STEAM.

In the fields of science, art and math, City Academy has advanced the integration of these fields – along with technology and engineering – to build cross-curricular connections that foster critical, creative thinking. This effort has become known as the STEAM Initiative, an innovative and collaborative approach that extends STEM education to incorporate art, recognizing that many of the skills and principles taught in art are applicable to and enhance what is accomplished in STEM classrooms. The result is a unique STEAM Initiative. Science, math and art are all taught as formal subjects throughout all grade levels, and they connect other disciplines through shared principles of problem solving and innovative thought.

Students playing violin

All students learn Spanish and 1st – 6th graders take violin lessons.

City Academy’s Violin Program is based on the principle that every child can learn to play the violin if given the right environment, quality instruction and an instrument that is appropriate for their physical stature.

In all grades, students actively participate in Spanish instruction through games, songs, projects, and the use of technology. The Spanish program exposes students to other cultures and develops their Spanish speaking, reading and writing abilities.

Strive participants at Wash U

We support our alumni after they graduate.

City Academy’s alumni support team stays engaged with our graduates and helps them on their paths toward post-secondary education. The STRIVE for College program partners Washington University in St. Louis undergraduate students with City Academy alumni and meets twice per month for 2.5 hours on the Wash U campus. The program pairs alumni with Wash U students for mentoring and support. Lessons are provided at the beginning of each STRIVE session based on the grade level needs with presentations on career pathways, resume building, networking, and more. One-to-one pairings allow for intensive and personalized academic support.
