A Holistic Approach to Education

City School is a private Christian school in South Austin serving students from PreK through eighth grade. Since 2002, we have brought together families across income levels around a shared purpose: forming children who love God and others, delight in learning, and serve their community with courage and compassion.

Guided by Charlotte Mason’s understanding that children are born persons, we offer a rich education that includes living books, science, history, mathematics, the arts, nature study, athletics, and meaningful service. Small classes allow teachers to know their students, while sliding-scale tuition helps make this education accessible to more Austin families.

At City School, we provide a rich feast of learning aimed at fostering holistic development.

Literature, mathematics, science, and history sit alongside art, music, Shakespeare, nature study, athletics, and service. Children have room to discover interests and grow in maturity through new challenges.
