Where Corps Members Teach

St. Louis corps members teach in four school districts and several city charter schools in neighborhoods like the Ville and Walnut Park These placements range from North County, such as the Hazelwood and Normandy School Districts, and also more central locations such as Riverview Gardens and St. Louis Public Schools.

The city is easy to navigate and most areas are accessible within twenty minutes by car. Many St. Louis corps members opt to share apartments with other corps members in order to save on rent and build a support system outside the classroom. Two popular spots for corps members are Tower Grove, Soulard (the historic French district) and Benton Park, on the south side of the city.
