HELPFUL INFORMATION
Premier Charter School is a Pre-Kindergarten through 8th-grade charter school. This means that we accept students from any St. Louis City zip code. We do not utilize catchment zones so any resident of St. Louis City may apply at any time.
Please note: your child’s lottery application does not roll over from school year to school year. If you are not offered admission in the year you first apply, and you want to try again the following school year, you will need to reapply for the current school year.
Our Pre-Kindergarten is for children that are 4 years old by July 31st. The Pre-K program is fee-based with limited financial assistance available.
Our Kindergarten program is for children that are 5 years old by July 31st. We offer several opportunities for our incoming kindergarteners to get to know the school and peers throughout the summer. Information about our “Kindergarten Club” dates and times will be provided after registration.
