What We Are — and What We're Not

Academics, on-field training, gym training, mentorship, and holistic development — all in a school day's work, under one roof. Boys and girls, grades 4–12.

WE ARE NOT

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.

WE ARE NOT

A Drop-In Program

No à la carte options. Development is not something you visit — it is something you commit to.

WE ARE NOT

Homeschooling, With Soccer

Structured, focused academics with certified teachers, on-site academic staff, daily accountability, and a full student experience.

WE ARE NOT

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.

PILLAR 1

Person

Character, work ethic, commitment, daily habits, life skills, and being a positive contributor to culture.

PILLAR 2

Student

Effort, time management, priorities, and daily academic eligibility.

PILLAR 3

Soccer

Pillars 1 and 2 come first — students must be eligible to train each day. Then: attention to detail, focus, and "Every Rep Matters."

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.

Academic Wing

The Ballroom serves as our main academic wing, with small-group study rooms and a dedicated elementary space.

Training

Outdoor fields for on-field soccer development, plus the Performance Training Center (PTC) for off-field training and sports performance.

Student Life

On-site restaurant serving as the lunchroom, boys' and girls' locker rooms, and Mercy health and safety support — a top priority for all students.

The Soccer Park is also the home of Saint Louis Scott Gallagher — a pathway that has produced professionals like Tim Ream and Josh Sargent.
