Tower Grove Christian Academy has been serving students in the great city of Saint Louis for over thirty-five years. What started as a small church ministry has evolved into an academic institute that houses a preschool, elementary school, middle school, and college preparatory high school. Nestled at the corner of Magnolia and Tower Grove Avenue, our prime location makes field trips to the Missouri Botanical Gardens and Tower Grove Park as simple as going for a walk! But field trips aren't the only hands-on learning our students get; because citizenship is an important component to what we teach, our students particpate in a variety of service projects each year. Our student body represents a multitude of neighborhoods, ethnicities, and faiths. Some of our students commute from as far the Metro East, while others live close enough to walk to school. Some of our students are the children of TGCA graduates, while other students are first generation Americans! At TGCA we believe, wholeheartedly, that our school is a vessel to bring change to our city. Investing in our students today is an investment in our city tomorrow. From healthcare to chilcare, police force to air force, legal advice to financial advice, TGCA graduates go on to serve in some remarkable roles! Interested in learning more? Schedule a tour.

At Tower Grove we believe in providing practical teaching from God's Word that will help you to grow as you seek to serve Him. We offer many opportunities for involvement to help you develop your talents and gifts in the different areas of ministry as the Lord has gifted each of us. Tower Grove is a great place to build meaningful and dynamic relationships with others in the process. In the midst of a busy Metropolitan area, Tower Grove Baptist Church has become a refuge for many in St. Louis. Conveniently located just off I-44, and adjacent to the Missouri Botanical Garden and Tower Grove Park, Tower Grove is in a beautiful and well-traveled part of the city. Tower Grove members are well known for their friendliness, warmth, and a deep commitment to lifestyle evangelism. For over 100 years we have provided ministry to our community. We provide life-changing Bible study for all age groups. Our church also has recreation activities and sport programs for all ages, and a Christian school (Preschool - 12th Grade) - Tower Grove Christian School. Tower Grove believes that everyone is important; therefore we seek to minister to everyone. Our ministries and programs are designed with all people in mind. With an active senior adult, youth, children, and preschool ministry, the entire family can find a place to both serve and be served. Whether you play a musical instrument, sing, teach, love to work with children, youth or collegians, there is a place for you to become involved in a fast paced, lively church with more than a century of excellence and commitment. It will be immediately obvious that God’s hand is on this thriving inner-city church! His touch can be felt in every Bible study class, worship service, and various ministries of the church. Our mission is: To exalt Christ in St. Louis and the cities of the world by proclaiming the gospel of hope in Jesus Christ by making and nurturing disciples and by trusting Christ to build His mighty church through us.
Systema St. Louis teaches the ability to survive and win, in stressful, dangerous and violent situations in as close to actual environments as possible, in addition to states of extreme duress, and exhaustion. Systema St. Louis' training philosophy is based on the principles and philosophy of Systema - Russian Martial Art. With this combat system, special uniforms and belts are irrelevant. We don’t focus on learned stances and drills. We focus on teaching battle-proven skills that are quick, unsportsmanlike & lethal, and focus on a body’s natural positioning and movement to be able to efficiently strike, absorb a strike, avoid and re-direct from any position. Our training philosophy is not to be confused with any traditional fighting arts and/or combat sports fighting systems. We are not in the business of taking years to teach a client how to incapacitate or eliminate even the most basic fighter, but rather months, comparable to the time a special ops soldier has to prepare for an operation. There are just too many aspects of traditional fighting arts and sports-based fighting systems that are life-threateningly impractical and inefficient for the street and actual brutal violence. Our training is intense and demanding and nothing is off limits other than morality and legality. All training is conducted in a controlled yet extremely realistic environment, meaning no mats and pads, and real weapons are used (inoperable firearms and slightly dulled edged weapons). Essentially, we remove all of the elements that would give you a false sense of security. If you constantly learn how to fall, roll and/or maneuver on a mat and use rubber or plastic weapons, you are not training properly for actual battle or violence. Violence never happens in an emotional vacuum and learning how to operate when placed under stress and high emotion is a very necessary way to develop effective fighting skills/abilities. By educating your decision making process whilst under high emotion you will learn to both choose effective solutions and choose them quickly.

Cornerstone endeavors to prepare students for a lifetime of positive social interaction and learning. We believe that children learn best from active involvement with all aspects of the world. From their earliest days at Cornerstone, students explore the beginnings of reading, writing, math, art and science as they play in water, pound on playdough, draw and paint, sing and dance, or cook and bake. Through "hands on/minds on" learning, they build the early foundations of autonomous behavior, taking responsibility for their learning, and accepting the natural consequences of their decisions.

Tell me about the Mothers’ Club… In December of 1927, Fr. William F. Parry, S.J., then Principal of SLUH, called a meeting of the mothers of SLUH students to express his gratitude for the successful card party organized to help defray the cost of repairing extensive damage done to the school and chapel due to a tornado which swept through the city. At this thank you meeting, one of the women suggested the formation of a Mothers’ Club with the purpose of rendering financial assistance for the future as well as the present. This met with the hearty approval of all, and Mrs. Victoria Cervantes was unanimously elected the Club’s first President. Today, ALL MOTHERS of sons at SLUH are automatically members of the SLUH Mothers’ Club. No dues are required. Mothers’ Club fund raisers include CASHBAH, the SLUHlard Card Party, the SLUHtique Christmas Boutique, Trivia Night and the sale of our cookbook. We are not just a fundraiser organization however. SLUH's Mothers' Club is an opportunity for fun, friendship, and activities for others!

Central Visual and Performing Arts High School (CVPA) of the Saint Louis Public School District evolved in 1984 from a realization that gifted young artists need highly specialized and rigorous training in the arts to be prepared for the intense competition they will meet in colleges, conservatories, and the professional arts world. The creation of CVPA represented the district’s attempt to correlate an academic program with concentrated training in the arts. CVPA is fully accredited and offers the same academic curriculum and graduation requirements as all SLPS high schools; the major difference in the academic program is that we offer the added ingredient of correlating the arts with academics, rather than treating either as isolated disciplines. All students spend three hours per day in their art areas, and the remainder of the time in academics or electives. The arts offered for in-depth study are: Dance, Instrumental and Vocal Music, Theatre Arts, and Visual Arts. In addition, CVPA is committed to its role as a college preparatory school, making students aware of the variety of opportunities they have for future training at colleges or universities, advanced art institutes, and conservatories. The school recognizes and values student individuality. It nurtures, without exception, the values of individual accomplishment and independence. Since individual creativity is integral to the production of art, our faculty and staff work with students on an individualized, human level that stimulates intellectual, artistic, and technical originality. We strive to graduate people who can work independently and creatively. At the same time, CVPA places high value on group responsibility, loyalty, and sense of community. In a country that is sustained by a democratic process, a sense of individual worth, coupled with a sense of responsibility to a society, is invaluable. It is to these ends that CVPA devotes its energies. Students will view each strand through the lens of four components: aesthetic perspectives, creative expression, culture and history, and analysis and criticism. While students will select one strand on which to focus, they will be encouraged to explore more than one area of the arts. All strands emphasize performance and exhibition. The instrumental music program focuses on developing a student’s understanding of music concepts that serve as the foundation for future development of aesthetic judgment. Students apply knowledge and understanding of the elements of style, form, and cultural heritage to listen to, perform, create, and defend their musical choices. In the vocal music program, the student’s understanding of musical concepts is developed. Students focus on their own special interests and compare and contrast social, ethnic, and cultural influences on music. As students learn about the individuals who contributed to the area and time period of music studied, they form personal choices of musical performances from all historic periods. In both musical strands, students explore career possibilities in music education, music composition, the music business, and music therapy. The visual arts program provides consistent instructional opportunities for students to examine a wide range of forms that are natural and man-made and to create art work using the elements and principles of design. Students’ interests in individual artists and their art forms are encouraged, and they study careers in graphic design, commercial art, art history, preservation of art, art education, art therapy, and arts management. Students taking classes in the dance program develop an awareness of the body as an instrument of expression. They refine their skills in dance technique and choreography and increase their ability to move creatively and spontaneously. Exposure to great works of art allows students to analyze the special characteristics of noted performers, choreographers, critics, and impresarios, as well as understand how these individuals have shaped the history of dance. In the theater program, students learn to create, perform, analyze, and critique dramatic performances. Class work becomes formalized with the students participating in theatre, television, and electronic media productions. As careers and performers are studied, students develop a broad worldview.
