Ranked among the nation’s 50 best private elementary schools, Rossman School is an independent preparatory school providing children age 4 through grade 6 with an unparalleled academic and character foundation that preserves the magic of childhood and gifts of community.
Nestled on a 20-acre campus in Creve Coeur, Rossman’s safe, joyful learning environment is purposefully designed for the development of young learners. Experienced and innovative teachers are dedicated to discovering and nurturing what makes each child one of a kind as they implement a stimulating curriculum balancing language arts, mathematics, and specialty subjects such as art, music, science, Spanish, and social studies.
A small, intimate community of one class per grade provides a personal and supportive climate that cultivates confidence, encourages risk-taking, and improves learning. With two or three lead homeroom teachers working together to deliver and assess instruction, Rossman’s unique team-teaching model provides different perspectives and approaches to each child’s learning. In every grade, students have multiple teachers to connect with and support them, as well as offer an abundance of individual attention.
Interwoven throughout Rossman’s program and community are the core values of kindness, honesty, respect, and responsibility. Through careful attention to the whole child, Rossman partners with parents to develop young leaders who exemplify these traits and are academically well-prepared, thoughtful, motivated, and self-confident.
