About
Rooted in Tradition.
Growing the Whole Child.
Our Mission
We support the curious, empowered learner.
For more than 25 years, Premier Charter School has served students and families across St. Louis through a whole-child approach to education grounded in strong relationships, meaningful learning experiences, and character development.
Our Philosophy
We believe students learn best when they feel safe, supported, and connected to the people around them. At PCS, education goes beyond academics to help students grow socially, emotionally, and personally alongside their academic learning.
Through strong relationships, hands-on experiences, and opportunities for exploration, we encourage students to ask questions, think critically, build confidence, and grow into curious and empowered learners.
The Premier Way
At PCS, students experience:
- Inquiry-based and project-based learning
- Character education rooted in Respect, Responsibility, and Caring
- Supportive classroom communities and strong relationships
- Outdoor learning and hands-on experiences
- Leadership opportunities and student voice
- A whole-child approach that supports academic and social-emotional growth
We believe learning should feel meaningful, engaging, and connected to the real world.
