Chaminade College Preparatory School is an independent, college preparatory Catholic school administered by the Marianist Order for boys in grades six through twelve in the Archdiocese of St. Louis. The school is located in Creve Coeur, Missouri.[1]
The school offers 7-day, 5-day, and temporary boarding. Students come from throughout the United States and from countries throughout the world.[2] Canning Hall, the name of the dormitory, accommodates up to sixty-five residents.
The school bears the name of William Joseph Chaminade, a priest who lived during the era of the French Revolution and who founded the religious order that runs the school. The school maintains an active relationship with the Marianists through governance structures and the employment of lay and religious Marianists.
