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, 7:40 AM to 3:10 PM. 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."

Commitment • Dedication • Sacrifice • Work Ethic • Compete • Teamwork • Leadership • Humility

Our Development Partners

Who Your Child Becomes

Parents aren't choosing a schedule. They're choosing who their child is at eighteen.

THE STUDENT

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.

THE ATHLETE

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.

THE PERSON

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.
