St. Louis charter group seeks site for high school
May 30, 2008
Confluence Academy will offer 9th grade classes in one of its grade schools while it searches for a permanent high school campus
A St. Louis charter school is growing so quickly it can't find a building in time to open a new high school this fall. So, leaders at Confluence Academy are deciding now to start the school — just a few ninth-grade classrooms — within one of their grade schools. Confluence opened its first school just five years ago with 240 students in a converted warehouse in Old North St. Louis. It now has two others, in south St. Louis and the Walnut Park neighborhood, serving almost 2,300 children in total.
