Here We Grow!
We are so excited to be growing!
Our school is growing into a full Kindergarten - 8th grade. The 2022-23 school year was the launch of City Garden School Kindergarten and the beginning of our Middle School's 3-year strategic plan. We began with 6th grade and continue to grow to a 6-8 Middle School:
6th grade (2022-23)
7th grade (2023-24)
8th grade (2024-25)
Through visioning and planning the College of Teachers and Board of Directors, we have located a permanent property to call home. We are extremely excited to plan for the future.

Together, we can shape a brighter future for our children.
This ambitious project has been underway in various stages for over two years and combines the insight of teachers, the knowledge of professionals (like engineers, contractors, and architects), and the opinions of families. The goal is to build a facility that will foster collaboration, innovation, and engagement in our school community. Our vision is to provide a space that inspires curiosity, ignites creativity, and encourages personal growth for every student. We firmly believe this new building will become a hub for knowledge, exploration, and shared experiences.
Here are some key features and benefits of our future new building:
Ample Learning Spaces: The new building will have classroom space for every grade, collaborative areas, flexible classrooms, and room to grow.
Access to Nature: Situated on 11.6 wooded acres, the school will truly be an indoor/outdoor school every day. Every classroom will have direct access to a deck overlooking the forest and stream.
Sustainability and Green Initiatives: Our new building will embrace sustainable design principles, including energy-efficient systems, natural lighting, and outdoor learning spaces. By integrating these practices (among others), we will continue to instill a sense of responsibility for the planet in our students.
Community Spaces: We understand the importance of creating areas that unite our school community. The new building will offer multi-purpose spaces for activities, clubs, performances, parent-teacher interactions, and community events.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our shared mission, providing exceptional education right here in mid-Missouri. We will keep you updated on the progress of our new construction.
