About Cardinal Ritter College Prep

Our mission is to provide an exceptional Catholic urban educational experience for youth that instills attitudes of success and self-worth in our youth through faith development, academic excellence and leadership.

Cardinal Ritter College Prep High School has educated students from the entire St. Louis region for more than 25 years. We opened a new, state-of-the-art school in Grand Center in 2003. All Cardinal Ritter Prep seniors graduate and move on to college.

Cardinal Ritter Prep is a national model for successful urban education. Partnered with the Archdiocese, businesses and the community, we are known for our commitment to high academic standards, innovation, and student and alumni community involvement.

Our college preparatory curriculum applies the most advanced learning theories and technology, and our world-class facility provides a strong learning environment. We have developed partnerships with art and cultural organizations, universities, businesses and community groups to give our students a breadth of experiences. Our mission is to help students build knowledge, appreciation and understanding of the community and the larger world.

The Cardinal Ritter Prep environment is loving, nurturing, and fun, with energetic and committed faculty and staff who hold high expectations for themselves and their students. Graduates take great pride in their high school alma mater and serve as role models and community leaders.
