Campus

Community School sits on a beautiful 18-acre campus tucked away at the end of Lay Road in Ladue. Learn more about our facilities below, and take a virtual tour with our 360o photos!
Outdoor Spaces

Our beautiful 18-acre campus offers ample opportunities for outdoor activities and fun in the sun. The campus, with its woods, trails, pond, playing fields, butterfly garden, and treehouse classroom, provides a safe setting for exploring a child's world and a deeper understanding of concepts taught in class. Students also enjoy recess on our three playgrounds and a mix of outdoor physical education activities when weather permits.

Early Childhood Center

We designed the Early Childhood Center, affectionally called the Little Building, to fit the developmental and educational needs of our youngest students. The 8,000-square-foot space houses nursery, junior kindergarten, and senior kindergarten classes.

Classrooms are open and spacious, allowing children to try new things and grow their imaginations. Each classroom has direct access to outdoor play areas and a shared community room.

Main Building

Our Main Building, also known as the Big Building, feels more like a cozy house than a school building. Sunlight shines into every room, and every wall shows that this is a place for children. Student-made paintings, drawings, and murals fill the space with bright colors. Students enter the Main Building through the Community Center, where they gather alongside staff each day to share a family-style lunch. The building also includes grades one through six, the Discovery Center (library), French rooms, and the gym.

Centennial Arts Center

Children head to the Centennial Arts Center (CAC) to engage in creative learning experiences including art, music, drama, band, and after-school programming. Completed in 2014, the CAC includes a 500-seat auditorium for student assemblies and performances.

Broughton STEAM Center

Our new state-of-the-art Broughton STEAM Center enhances the overall educational experience of our learners by providing critical upgrades to our classrooms and campus configuration. This addition includes new spaces for science, woodshop, and drama.
