The Host Schools
The Summer Opportunities Fair is a community volunteer effort sponsored by the parent associations of John Burroughs School, Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School, and Whitfield School. Each year the Fair rotates between the three schools. For more information about any of these outstanding independent schools, click on the links below. This school year, the Summer Opportunities Fair will be held at John Burroughs School on Saturday, January 29, 2022.
John Burroughs School was founded in 1923 as a progressive, coeducational, non-sectarian, college preparatory school for students in grades 7 – 12. Today it maintains its founders’ commitment to service, simplicity, concern for nature, democracy, diversity, and the highest academic standards. At Burroughs, the pursuit of excellence takes place within the context of the school’s informal atmosphere where highly qualified and caring instructors instill in their students a curiosity and love for learning. To schedule a visit, contact Nancy Vogt in the Admissions Office at (314) 993-4045 ext. 242. 
Whitfield cultivates ethical, confident, successful students in a community of innovation, collaboration, and trust. Whitfield’s rigorous college preparatory program for grades 6–12 is rooted in a formal character education curriculum called the Habits of Mind & Heart. Classrooms are dynamic, engaging, technology-forward spaces. The student-centered academic program encourages critical thinking and reflection, leadership development, and personal strength assessment. Whitfield’s college counseling program inspires students to reach for their top choice schools in a low-stress way. The Class of 2021 was awarded scholarships totaling more than $3.92 million for their first year of college.
