Genesis School

Genesis School, established as a charter school in 1999, supports students in kindergarten to eighth grade. Saint Louis University began serving Genesis as a public charter school sponsor in 2025.

Core Beliefs

At Genesis, we believe:

  •  All students can learn at high levels, and all students deserve educational excellence. A school culture based on mutual respect, rigorous expectations, and continuous growth sets the conditions for strong academic growth and achievement.
  • Achieving our students’ potential requires continuous learning and improvement. We use data to measure our progress, and purposeful reflection and research to alter our practices.
  • Students have diverse academic and social-emotional needs. A school is responsible for determining and developing strengths while addressing the specific gaps and eliminating barriers for each child to ensure academic success.
  • Character development and social-emotional learning are critical components of education. Students who are respectful, responsible, resourceful and responsive are prepared to lead within their communities and society at large.
  • A school must be inextricably linked to the community it serves: Our students’ success benefits the community, while the community supports and informs our work. Leveraging community partnerships meets our students’ needs and maximizes learning and growth.

Sponsor Evaluation

Through the Policy Research in Missouri Education (PRiME) Center at Saint Louis University’s School of Education, SLU regularly evaluates its sponsored charter schools. These evaluations provide accountability to the public and school community, highlight strengths and areas for growth, and document the impact of the school's work with students and families.
