I have one graduate from Forsyth and two children who currently attend the school. It has been amazing to see how prepared my oldest child was when she started at a local, independent 7-12 secondary school upon graduation from Forsyth. Her transition was seamless and we have Forsyth to thank! My two kids who still attend Forsyth are very different children and I have been so thankful for the teachers' abilities to really know my kids from both a learning and emotional perspective. The individual attention the kids at Forsyth receive is priceless.

Forsyth School is by far one of the most prestigious private elementary schools (K-3 through 6th…read moregrade) in the St. Louis area. Forsyth takes a unique holistic approach to child development and education, through its "Challenge" program which is the foundation upon which the Forsyth curriculum is structured. Located adjacent to Washington University and across from Forest Park, Forsyth School has an unforgettable campus with classrooms in six repurposed, historic houses. Forsyth is all about challenge; with support from great teachers and classmates; and independence of thought and expression. It's a place where personal best counts: on the field, on the stage, in the classroom, and on the high ropes course in the the Forsyth Adventure Center. It's a place to stretch beyond your comfort zone; memory mapping, Shakespeare plays, and challenge days. Here children develop critical thinking skills; they learn that if they work hard, they can accomplish difficult and complex projects. Forsyth graduates are well prepared for the most selective secondary schools. Remember, you get what you pay for so tuition cost is moderate. Can you put a price on your child's education? Forsyth also offers after school care and Summer Camps!

My son joined the Wilson school since JK. We looked around a few private schools around the area…read more The Wilson is the best fit for our son and our family. The teacher and leaders are friendly and open-minded. My son loves to go to school, he used to be shy, but now he is confident. We are glad we chose the Wilson School; at first, I was worried about one cohort per grade, but in the end, it turned out perfect; they learned how to respect and accept their differences, and everyone gets along. The teachers provided positive, immediate feedback about their performance at school. Schools provide enough extra activities after-school, like math club, chess club, music lessons, drama classes, and some sports, etc. It is enough but does not overwhelm the parent. So I don't have to drive him around to take the extra class. They also have summer camps, spring, and winter. It is lovely, so I know there is always somewhere he can go. I am an anxious mum, but when my son is in Wilson school, I don't worry about him, and I can focus on my job. I know they will take good care of him. He is not pleased that I picked him up so early. He wants to stay in school longer.

I absolutely LOVE The Wilson School!!!…read more Do yourself and those you love a favor and check this school out for your children, friends, and family members! Wilson serves Pre-K through 6th grade. My daughter goes to The Wilson School and I absolutely love it! She gets an excellent education, they cater to the children's needs, they are committed to social and emotional well-being of the children and not solely academics, the families are more of a community than just parents. It's the most warm and welcoming environment EVER! Additionally, being in the midst of a pandemic, they did not miss a beat. Our school seamlessly switched to online learning and the kids remained engaged and didn't fall behind educationally. They also respected if some children needed adjustments because of the impact that quick shift and social isolation was having on the kiddos and adjusted workloads because the children's mental health was what mattered most. I am immune compromised and TERRIFIED of COVID-19, but we were able to safely send our daughter in person to school because they have gone above and beyond CDC Guidelines and safety measures. Kids' classes are their cohorts and they don't mix cohorts (5th grade has about 20 students total). They have space to break up, they use outdoor spaces and tents, etc. Masking hasn't been an issue...It's been absolutely wonderful! Also, they have the option (which is another thing I attribute lack of COVID-19 spreading at the school) of ConnectED Flex which means that even if my child is an in person student, if I feel the need to keep her home for a few days, weeks, or months, I can do that and she's learning along with her classmates. She doesn't miss a beat. Some people have used this option if they think they may have been exposed or if they had family gatherings and didn't want to risk harm to the rest of The Wilson School family. When numbers got high before Thanksgiving, I brought my daughter home virtually and have kept her home as I watched how things shook out after the holidays. She went back in person when I felt comfortable and didn't lose a step!! Seamless! Oh, and they frequently hold Town Halls to get parents' input on how things are going and what we would like to see and send surveys for us to voice our thoughts, opinions, desires, etc. They celebrate ALL cultures and holidays. They teach the kids to be independent thinkers and speak up on their own behalf rather than parents doing that which I love (my daughter is in 5th grade, it's different if there's a preschooler of course!). They discuss real, relevant issues like what happened on the 6th at the Capitol or what happened with George Floyd. They know this is on kids' minds and they need not only a safe space to have this conversation, but also to know that other people see their HUMANITY. Depending on one's lived experience, certain issues hit differently and they deserve the space to have the conversations and see things from others' viewpoints while respecting and learning from differences. As a Wilson mom, I could not have dreamed of a better school for my daughter. Prior to coming here, I prayed a school like this existed, but thought I would have to settle because nothing like this could possibly exist. Every single day I feel like I'm living a dream. This school is so amazing from the leadership to the staff, to the teachers, to the parents, and straight to the students. My daughter is happy EVERY DAY. She NEVER wants to miss school and the education she is receiving is PHENOMENAL and beyond anything she's EVER experienced. I can't say enough good things about this school. I could go on and on! Finally, they do also offer tuition assistance so don't be deterred by costs. Hope this helps!

I gave this school my most prized possession, my 4 year old daughter. I wanted for her to have the…read moresame summer experience I had when I attended New City School as a kid. I can tell you now that it's not the same. I dropped her off Monday morning at 8:45 to a playground with 100 kids. I didn't get to meet her camp counselor, and I was not able to enter the school due to Covid. I was okay with that, and nervous at the same time but again, I had attended there as a kid for several summers and my daughter has been in school since she was 2yo. She is friendly and delightful child so I thought I was making the right decision. By 9:30 am I was getting a call while at work. The director called me and told me that my daughter was having a rough morning, and trying to adjust. We picked her up early. The next day I called around 1pm and they said "they hadn't heard anything, so she must be fine." Thursday morning we dropped her off at 8:45, before my husband could make it to work, we were receiving a call saying that she was crying, and we need to pick her up right away and that this would HAVE to be her last day. The director told me that she didn't have the staff or the time to accommodate my child. They had 3 teachers to several 3 & 4 year olds. As a mother I was distraught. I couldn't believe that they had through my thrown my 4 yo out of summer camp. I wrote this to say that I am very disappointed in what this school has become. Also, I feel as if they didn't have the staff, why would they take on more than they could handle? So if your child needs special accommodations, or more attention than the average child. This is not the school because they clearly don't have the time. If I could have given zero stars I would have. I sent my daughter here with the intentions of her attending the school for kindergarten, but that won't happen. They made my child feel little, and they made me feel horrible as a parent.

Wilkinson ECC…read moreis a magnet school in the St. Louis Public School District and is a community of children, parents, staff (including a very active PTO), and Maryville University faculty and students dedicated to preparing autonomous citizens for a democratic society. Education is a process through which learners try to make sense of the universe. This constructivist process involves social, ethical, cognitive, symbolic, and physical growth and development. Children construct knowledge by building relationships between people, objects, and events. Staff collaborates to structure an open, caring and stimulating environment. In this environment, children make choices and develop positive dispositions towards active learning through themes, projects, and centers. Staff develops and shares expertise through participation in the Wilkinson Early Childhood Center-Maryville Professional Development School Partnership. Working together, staff, parents, and children create a community of life-long learners. We highly encourage anyone interested in Wilkinson to call the school and speak to Julie Wuch, Principal, and schedule a tour. You'll be impressed!

They told me if I paid $1900 , $400 for registration fee and $1500 deposit used as the last month payment I would be guaranteed a spot for my son to start on August 1st. In July I began to call since the date was getting close. I was uneasy about how little communication I got and how long it would take for someone to call/email me back. I became suspicious during the process. The women who was working with me was very nice but I could tell was overworked and didn't know what she was doing yet , as she had said she needed to be trained. After I told her I felt hesitant she emailed me saying she would be fully transparent with me and for me to call her so she could explain. Over the phone she told me that a month or so prior there entire administration team walked out of the school and quit. That they are in a rehiring and rebuilding phase right now. That safety and security procedures wasn't in place and that they were not even teaching the Montessori approach at this time. I appreciated her telling me , but I was shocked that if I didn't say I felt uncomfortable she wasn't going to tell me any of this and just enroll my 1.5 year old into there school. I decided I didn't feel comfortable sending my son there because of this and asked for my $1900 deposit back that I put down when the school was presented and established a very different way. I didn't even fill out the registration form. I was told I could not get my money back. That I could either go to another guide post school ( 30 mins away) or wait till they rebuild there program and come back in a few months. Neither option I feel comfortable with. I noticed the other school has a horrible rating and horrible reviews. Guidepost Montessori school seems like a fraud and is providing a horrible experience.

I feel like the small size has really fostered a family type environment at the school. The teachers and administrators are very supportive and the parents treat each other like family. Kids have more opportunities to participate in competitive activities when there aren't as many kids to compete against to make the team. I think the ability to participate in these activities help the kids feel included and keep them out of trouble after school. The school itself is located in the middle of a residential neighborhood off of Brentwood Blvd making it easy for kids to safely walk to and from school if they choose. Brentwood is definitely one of those school districts you can be proud to say you attended public school.
