Why Families Choose TPH St. Louis
What TPH St. Louis Soccer Is — and Is Not
Academics, on-field training, gym training, mentorship, and holistic development — all in a single school day, under one roof, 7:40 AM to 3:10 PM. Boys and girls, grades 4–12.
A Team or Club
TPH St. Louis is not a team and is not connected to any specific club. Student-athletes from all clubs are welcome, and continue playing for their own clubs after the academy day.
A Drop-In Program
No à la carte options. Development is not something you visit — it is something you commit to.
Homeschooling, With Soccer
Structured, focused academics with certified teachers, on-site academic staff, daily accountability, and a full student experience.
A Boarding School
No boarding or billeting. Our student-athletes live at home with their families in the greater St. Louis area.
Our Three Pillars
Development in this order — and the order is intentional.
Person
Character, work ethic, commitment, daily habits, life skills, and being a positive contributor to culture.
Student
Effort, time management, priorities, and daily academic eligibility.
Soccer
Pillars 1 and 2 come first — students must be eligible to train each day. Then: attention to detail, focus, and "Every Rep Matters."
Commitment • Dedication • Sacrifice • Work Ethic • Compete • Teamwork • Leadership • Humility
Our Campus
World Wide Technology Soccer Park — a facility that provides students with every necessary resource and opportunity to develop and grow as a student, athlete, and person.

Five full-size turf fields, one full-size grass field, three turf training patches, and the indoor PTC (Performance Training Center) — optimal conditions all year round.
The Stadium
The 5,500-seat World Wide Technology Stadium — host to pro and international matches.

Our Development Partners
Who Your Child Becomes
Parents aren't choosing a schedule. They're choosing who their child is at eighteen.
More Confident in the Classroom
Students who own their pacing, communicate directly with certified teachers, and advocate for themselves — daily academic habits built years before college demands them.
More Disciplined in Their Craft
Four additional on-field hours every week, daily standards, and an every-rep-matters culture — while continuing to play for their own club.
More Prepared for What's Next
Mentorship, leadership, community service, and years of practiced self-management — a young adult ready for life beyond the game.
