City Academy has received a $1 million gift from the Crawford Taylor Foundation for endowment. The gift supports the school’s efforts to broaden impact with an expanded Early Childhood Program.
The private independent elementary school located in north St. Louis expanded enrollment in the early childhood program for the 2012-2013 school year, adding 25 students. Plans to expand further to a total of 175 students by 2014 are in place.
“Research indicates that children between the ages of three and seven experience rapid brain growth and are especially receptive to learning new concepts,” says Don Danforth III, City Academy’s President and Co-Founder. “We hope to impact more students by reaching them during this critical window of cognitive growth.”
City Academy is the only private independent elementary school in St. Louis offering scholarship support to 100 percent of its students. For more information, visit www.cityacademyschool.org.
