Beyond Expectations
North Side is so much more than a #1 charter school and #1 public school in the City of St. Louis.
Our scholars are proof that children who find themselves in the most challenging zip codes of St. Louis can succeed far beyond expectations. Again and again, North Side scholars prove that with the right support and high expectations, they will rise above.
The teachers and administrators at North Side believe that academic and character development go hand in hand. Scholars are instilled with an appreciation of our JUSTICE character traits and a growth mindset that nurtures intellectual curiosity and resilience in the face of adversity and struggle. North Side's high expectations, small class sizes, and focus on family involvement make us a top-performing school, year after year.
