STL Private High Schools

St. Louis private high schoolsThe major difference between St Louis public and private schools is that the public school is funded by state and federal government. They are not allowed to charge tuition and are often underfunded and therefore unable to hire additional teachers or bring in new supplies as needed. St Louis public schools often have classes of 40-60 youngsters with one teacher and maybe not even an assistant. In a private school, your child will most likely be in a class of 25-30 and likely have a teacher’s assistant as well.

Private High School St. Louis

Private vs. Public school, it’s the debate that has thousands of St Louis parents wondering what’s really best for their kids. If you’re a parent, you’ve probably heard good things about private schools in St Louis, but might not have sent your kids due to the economy. Unfortunately, sending your kids to a St. Louis private school is a little more expensive than a public school district in St. Louis, but it does have its benefits.


Another thing to consider is that the type of education is limited at public schools. If you want your child to learn via Montessori method or other types that are extremely beneficial for opening up the mind, a public school simply won’t have what you’re after. Private schools in St Louis often use the best quality of education available rather than the minimum standards regulated at public schools. However, private schools are still accredited and regularly inspected to make sure that tuition standards are on par or higher than the minimum.

Personal Care: Possibly the most important reason to take your child to a private elementary or high school in St Louis is that they will receive more attention. Instead of being thrown in the back of the class and given the same attention as every other child, kids at private schools will often receive some individual attention, especially if they are floundering in one class or another. A private school is a great way to help your child get away from the anonymity of public school and into somewhere where they will receive actual attention.

So, what’s the decision making factor? For most it’s a personal and a money choice. If you have the money to have your child attend a private school then it can be quite beneficial for their learning experience. Your child will have more time with teachers and will likely be in an environment where there are more school supplies and less pressure because there are too many students in the class. It’s also possible to get your child the alternative study of your choice with STL private schools including a religious education or alternate teaching method.

The choice is eventually yours. There are pros and cons to both public and private schools but both of those usually involve money.
Eventually, ask yourself ‘Can I afford a private school, ‘ ‘will my child benefit from this school’ and ‘are there good options available in the area’.
