City Academy

Class of 2020 alumnus Andrew Ford stopped by City Academy today with a BIG gift! ♟️

Andrew and the Ford family delivered a life-size chess board that he designed and built as part of his Eagle Scout project. A recent graduate of MICDS - Mary Institute and Saint Louis Country Day School and one of this year's Brightman Award recipient, Andrew continues to exemplify the spirit of the award through his commitment to giving back to the community that helped shape him.

Thank you, Andrew, for your generosity and for investing in the next generation of City Academy students. We are so proud of all you've accomplished and wish you the very best as you begin this exciting next chapter at DePauw University !

Happy International Picnic Day! 🌭🧺

To celebrate, Summer at City gathered on the field for a school-wide picnic filled with hot dogs, laughter, and time together in the sunshine. Students spread out their blankets, enjoyed lunch with friends, and made the most of a beautiful summer day outdoors. ☀️

🎶 Take me out to the ballgame! ⚾

City Academy students returned to Busch Stadium over the weekend, this time taking the field to perform the National Anthem through song and violin. Our small-but-mighty group filled the stadium with music and represented City Academy with confidence, talent, and heart. We are so proud of these young performers for sharing their gifts on such a big stage and dazzling Cardinals fans once again. 👏🎻🎤❤️

Prior to graduation, 6th grade spent time with President and Co-Founder Don Danforth for one of City Academy’s favorite traditions — lunch at First Watch followed by shakes at Shake Shack. Throughout these outings, students had the chance to reflect on their journey at City Academy, share their plans for what comes next, and hear an important reminder: they will always have a home at City Academy no matter where life takes them.
