The Soulard School

Our Model

Our education is based on an innovative model that we created when The Soulard School opened in 2005. This model is built on three core pillars: equitable tuition, integrated studies curriculum and community engagement. It is this unique model that allows us to create original programming, that empowers teachers, engages families and includes students. Through innovative leadership programs, relevant community partnerships and authentic experiences that elevate every type of learner, our model results in children
who know they can have an impact.

Equitable Tuition

Our Equitable Tuition Program is an integral part of our model and helps to financially support our educational vision. We use an income-based sliding-scale tuition system designed specifically to create a naturally diverse student population. This means one-third of our population pays full tuition, one-third qualifies for mid-range tuition and one-third of elementary students are considered at or below the poverty line by state and federal standards. The Equitable Tuition Program allows all of our families to educate their children as equal members of a diverse community.
