Donate to City Garden Montessori Trunk-or-Treat

The Office of Summer Studies will collect bags of candy Oct. 1-28, for a trunk-or-treat community event at City Garden Montessori Charter School. Donations can be dropped off Monday through Friday in DuBourg Hall, room 17.

Saint Louis University currently sponsors City Garden Montessori Charter School, which serves approximately 175 students in kindergarten through eighth grades. 

The charter school opened in 2008. It first began in 1995 as a small, locally-founded and operated preschool. City Garden Montessori School has been educating racially and socio-economically diverse students from the Forest Park Southeast and surrounding neighborhoods for more than 15 years. To meet the educational demands of many area families, in 2008, the school's board opened a separate public charter school.

City Garden's distinct institutional mission is to encourage students to "value difference among people.”
