Dear Prospective Apple Hill Family,

         Apple Hill Academy, St. Louis’ premier preschool, is proud to announce our twentieth anniversary as the leader in preschool gifted education.    Apple Hill is an independent, privately-owned, one-of-a-kind school.  We do not share our site, facility or equipment with a day care, church, elementary school, middle school, or high school.  Apple Hill Academy exclusively offers half-day preschool programs for ages two through pre kindergarten, from September through May.  We are located at the corner of Pierside Lane and Waterside Drive adjacent to the Lake Chesterfield Subdivision.

 At Apple Hill Academy, our pride is based upon our superior reputation!  Our exclusive Apple Hill Academic Curriculum, giving gifted education to every preschooler, is highly successful, as proven by the exceptional performance of our former students.  We are consistently told by area educators that Apple Hill students stand out among their peers. A high number of Apple Hill graduates are accepted into gifted/advanced placement programs. They embark upon their educational journey thoroughly prepared and excited to learn. The unique working relationship between home and school creates the positive, nurturing, personal, secure environment so valued at Apple Hill. 

 The Apple Hill teacher to child ratio is unmatched and the small, personal class size at the Academy is unparalleled. Our Apple Hill staff is the finest in St. Louis having unrivaled education, experience, and technique.  Our teachers instruct the whole child.  Using our extraordinary academic curriculum, we teach children to think:  to question, to observe, to evaluate, to predict, all at amazingly high levels.   

 The outstanding uniqueness of Apple Hill Academy is unprecedented in the St. Louis community:

*  Spanish Classroom – cheerfully devoted to the sights, traditions, and sounds of
        Mexico … all ages learn Spanish
