Practical experience, classroom observations and student teaching are integrated into the education curriculum experience at Saint Louis University. Throughout the program, you will spend a significant amount of time in local public, private, and charter schools.

At SLU’s School of Education, we believe a student’s education is more than filling heads with facts, but caring for the whole person – intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. We are committed to prepare practitioners who think on systems levels about inequality – who bring critical consciousness to their work each day and actively work for greater justice. We believe that education is a human right. We hold a preferential option for the underserved. We work toward building cultural competence in ourselves and our students. Words to consider: embracing diversity, learning to serve and contributing to change.

No matter which program you choose, you can: 

• Connect with a mentor. SLU's education students are closely mentored throughout their program within a supportive environment. 
• Students enter a tight-knit community of faculty and peers committed to innovative learning, diversity, and the intellectual ideas of the Jesuit tradition.
• Experience small class sizes. Classes in the School of Education allow you to establish strong connections with both faculty and other students.
