Mission

We support the curious, empowered learner. At Premier Charter School, we focus on whole child development. We are closing the achievement gap by providing our students with the tools they need to succeed, in school and beyond PCS.

Quick Fact 1

PCS proudly serves students from zip codes that span the city of St. Louis. Our student population is wonderfully diverse, with more than 17 different languages and cultures represented. We celebrate this diversity every single day and especially at our annual Multicultural Fair and Peace Rally, where our entire community comes together to showcase the many cultures that make PCS such a special school!

Quick Fact 2

PCS's whole-child approach to the highest-quality academics, authentic and caring relationships, project-based learning, and embedded character education prepares our students to continue to succeed after they graduate. Our graduates are consistently recruited by top private and public high schools in the area, and over 95% of our graduates go on to attend competitive entrance high schools.
