Please pardon our construction! We are currently in the midst of a website redesign. We are working hard and fast on providing you with a new and improved dynamic new site.
Shearwater Education Foundation is an education non-profit located in Saint Louis, Missouri that aims to lead policy change and program design efforts that positively impact the education of disconnected youth, which includes supporting the growth and development of Shearwater High School.
Shearwater High School is a Missouri approved, Saint Louis University sponsored public charter school with Missouri Options status and a performance-based educational model.
At Shearwater, we are committed to providing disconnected youth with a high-quality high school education option. Our school has been specifically designed to serve youth in the City of St. Louis who dropped out of school or whose life situations make an on-time graduation unlikely.
Our primary focus is getting our students ready for education past high school. We believe that in order to have the best chance for success, a student must be able to go to and thrive in some type of post-secondary education.
In addition to providing students with an intensive academic experience, our Culture and Student Support team work to connect students to any needed social and economic support services. This is to ensure that they can remain engaged at school and be able to attend on time, every day.
At Shearwater, we understand that our students arrive with different values, experiences, and allegiances. In spite of these differences, they have a strong common purpose: seizing the opportunity to learn amazing things, so that they are free to do amazing things, wherever they go after graduation.
Our students will find the way. Our students will fly farther.
