John Burroughs School Competitors

Lindbergh Schools is committed to helping students succeed not only in academics, but also in life. We prepare students for success through innovative instruction and a focus on collaboration, creativity, communication and critical thinking. This high-quality education for all students is propelled by strong community support, and a team of excellent teachers, support staff and administrators. We believe that a diverse community of students, employees and families contributes to an environment where all are supported and individual strengths are developed. Each year, we serve more than 7,100 students at 1211 different campuses, including one high school, two middle schools, six elementary schools, one elementary gifted education center, and two early childhood education centers. We are home to eight National Schools of Character and six National Blue Ribbon Schools.

Early innovators in education, Mary Institute and Saint Louis Country Day School combined their rich histories in 1992. Today, MICDS is one of the nation’s leading private schools, specializing in JK-12 education.

Since 1952, Whitfield School has been more than a college preparatory institution — it's a close-knit community where kindness and trust are the foundation of everything we do. Serving a diverse student body in St. Louis in grades 6–12, Whitfield inspires each young person to lead a life of curiosity, integrity, and purpose. We believe that learning is an experience — one that engages the mind and heart, igniting curiosity, collaboration, and personal growth. Our rigorous liberal arts curriculum blends demanding academics with hands-on, interdisciplinary learning, ensuring that every student thrives intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Whether exploring complex ideas in the classroom, collaborating on real-world projects, or engaging with the broader community, Whitfield students are empowered to take wise risks, support one another, and develop the skills needed for a rapidly changing world. At Whitfield, our size is a strength. Every student is seen, known, and valued — and character is not an add-on, but the lens through which we approach academics, relationships, and community life. Our faculty are mentors and innovators who believe that real growth happens at the edge of a student's comfort zone. They challenge students intellectually and personally — because they know that's where young people discover and become their best selves. We don't just prepare students for college. We prepare them for life.
