Learn about Rossman School as you observe students and teachers on a typical school day during this School Day Open House. You'll also enjoy a campus tour led by current parents of Rossman School students, who are eager to answer your questions and share their perspectives of the Rossman School experience.
Educating children in Junior Kindergarten (age 4) through sixth grade, Rossman School provides a solid foundation in academics, athletics and the arts while emphasizing strong character development. Nestled on a 20-acre campus in Creve Coeur, and equipped with state-of-the-art technology, Rossman implements a stimulating, carefully designed curriculum that inspires a love of learning.
A student-teacher ratio of 8:1 allows Rossman's experienced faculty to develop personal, nurturing relationships to each child, and a small community of one class per grade provides a close, supportive climate. Through careful attention to the whole child, Rossman prepares students for responsible citizenship, meaningful participation, and strong leadership in a global society.
The Weekday Open House begins at 8:30 a.m. RSVPs are appreciated. For more information and to RSVP, visit rossmanschool.org or contact Katharine Durham, Director of Admission, at 314-434-5877, ext. 203.
