Premier Charter School is a free, PK–8 public charter school in St. Louis City, serving over 1,000 students as the Home of the Curious and Empowered Learner. Rooted in our core values of Respect, Responsibility, and Caring, PCS offers a whole-child education that blends strong academics with character development and meaningful, hands-on learning.
Through project-based learning, students engage in real-world experiences that build critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Our 20-acre campus provides unique opportunities for outdoor education, including student-led gardening and environmental initiatives that earned us recognition as Missouri’s first K–12 Tree Campus school.
At PCS, relationships are at the heart of everything we do. We are a community where students are known, supported, and celebrated, and where families and staff work together to create a strong sense of belonging. Students leave PCS not only prepared for high school, but confident in who they are and ready to make an impact in the world.
