Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience is a magnet high school in St. Louis, Missouri. It was established in 2013 and is part of the St. Louis Public Schools district.
In 2013, SLPS set up the school after demand for a magnet high school oriented towards medical professions was raised by community members. The school's funding came from an advisory board of 14 members, most of whom were executives from major industries in the Greater St. Louis area. The board pushed to move the school into its current location in the Tiffany neighborhood within the St. Louis University Medical District. The board has paid for multiple fees of its students such as bus passes, college application fees, PSAT fees, and money for field trips for its students. The board has also secured internships for its students from a variety of companies and businesses in St. Louis such as St. Louis University, St. Louis Zoo, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, and Danforth Plant Science Center. Collegiate is currently trying to raise $13 million to create a science wing with 6 laboratories, a greenhouse, and a gymnasium. Most science classes were held in mobile labs behind the school. [2]
In 2021, the school proposed moving its location to Cleveland Junior Naval Academy, which the St. Louis Public Schools board voted to close effective the upcoming school year. [3] The proposal did not come without pushback from students, who created a petition signed by around 460 individuals to keep the school at its current location. [4] Despite the opposition, Collegiate moved forward with the move and relocated to Cleveland Junior Naval Academy’s former location. [5]
On October 24, 2022, a school shooting took place at Central Visual and Performing Arts which shares a campus with Collegiate killing 2 people.
