About City Academy
City Academy was co-founded in 1999 by Don Danforth and Duncan Marshall on the belief that a family’s geographic location and income should never be a barrier to accessing high-quality education. Twenty-five years later, we remain the only private, independent school in the region that provides scholarship support to 100% of our current scholars.
Become a Corporate Partner
City Academy is possible only because of the generous support of our Corporate Partners and hundreds of friends across the St. Louis region. City Academy invites you to join in our mission while finding an opportunity that advances your organization’s goals.

City Academy offers a variety of ways for our Corporate Partners to actively participate in our vibrant school community.
