North County Innovative School (NCIS) is a proposed public charter school designed to serve students and families in North St. Louis County through a healing-centered, innovative approach to education.
At NCIS, we believe that learning and well-being go hand in hand. Our model integrates STREAM education (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Math) with strong mental health supports, hands-on learning experiences, and a culturally affirming school environment.
We are preparing to launch in Fall 2027, beginning with PreK–2nd grade, with plans to grow into a full PreK–8 campus. Our students will engage in:
- Project-based STREAM learning
- Social-emotional development and wellness support
- Agricultural and outdoor education experiences
- Creative arts through music, dance, and visual expression
North County families deserve access to high-quality, innovative educational options right in their community. NCIS is being built to meet that need.
Your support on Give STL Day helps us:
- Build and prepare our future school campus
- Launch pilot programs like our Learning Lab and STREAM experiences
- Expand community outreach and family engagement
- Lay the foundation for a school where innovation meets care
Together, we are not just opening a school, we are creating a space for healing, growth, and opportunity.
