About This Podcast

This podcast is a Navigate STL Schools/navigatesstlschools.org platform to help families and community members have a better understanding of the educational landscape and opportunities in the city of St. Louis and surrounding communities. Our goal is to speak with subject matter experts and community members alike to understand the opportunities and challenges that face St. Louis families as they embark on K12 education. Navigate STL Schools hopes to give everyone the tools they need to navigate the complex educational system. We want the community to have all of the information that they need to advocate for their families, engage in active discussion, and make more informed decisions with regard to children's educational future.
