Saint Louis Priory School

Saint Louis Priory School is a Catholic, Benedictine day school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 301 to 500 students in grades 6 through 12. The school's mission centers on college preparatory education rooted in Catholic and Benedictine values, helping young men develop their full potential. That philosophy shapes everything from classroom instruction to daily campus life.

Teaching here means working within a defined intellectual and spiritual framework. Faculty engage talented, motivated students—a combination that lets teachers move quickly through material and pursue depth. The Benedictine tradition emphasizes balance, community, and the integration of faith with learning, giving educators a shared language beyond standardized testing metrics alone.

Because the school is a day school, faculty are not expected to live on campus. This appeals to teachers seeking a strong professional boundary between school and home life while still remaining embedded in a values-driven community. Many teachers can commute within the Saint Louis region and maintain lives outside school walls.

The school maintains a Spanish language program and hires for traditional academic disciplines—English, mathematics, sciences, humanities—as well as world languages. Athletic coaching roles and campus ministry positions open periodically. The mid-range enrollment means faculty voices carry real weight in curricular decisions without the infrastructure complexity of larger institutions.

For teachers drawn to Catholic education, Benedictine philosophy, or college-preparatory instruction, this Saint Louis day school offers a focused community with clear values and realistic work-life expectations.
