Partner Schools

One Classroom currently works with 28 Partner Schools in the Archdiocese of St. Louis, with more on the horizon. Current partners for the 2025-2026 school year include:

A young boy with glasses, blonde hair, and a big smile, wearing a red polo shirt, black shorts, and bright yellow sneakers, standing on a wooden deck outside a house with white siding and a window behind him. He has a blue and black backpack.
A young girl in a school uniform is jumping to make a shot toward a small basketball hoop in a gymnasium, holding a small orange basketball.

One Classroom Partner Schools receive varying levels of financial and educational support. Some examples of support include:

  • Monetary grants to support staff salaries, professional development, technology, and equipment

  • Onsite assessment and coaching

  • Trainings for paraprofessionals, school leaders, and classroom teachers

  • Onsite coordination and use of ABA therapists for behavior support

“The good work being done across the Archdiocese of St. Louis, in our nearly 30 Partner Schools, is the result of devoted parents, willing principals, loving pastors, hard-working teachers, joyful students, and very generous donors. That’s how true belonging is fostered for all children.

We must do as chapter 53 of the Rule of St. Benedict says, ‘All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ, for he himself will say, “I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Matthew 25:35)’ and foster a culture that welcomes all learners in this brave and holy manner.”
