Hawthorn Leadership School for Girls

Science Laboratories

The Hawthorn Leadership School Foundation purchased and renovated a historic 1924 ­­school building into a 21st century learning environment. Hawthorn is the first all-girls charter school in Missouri, and offers a rigorous hands-on, college-preparatory curriculum focused on science, technology, engineering and math education.

HERA planned and designed innovative and interdisciplinary STEM spaces that enable problem-based learning pedagogy as well as several extracurricular activities such as robotics and coding and other cross-discipline problem-solving.

Hawthorn is a college preparatory school with a focus on science, technology, engineering and math. The school opened in 2015 with 6th and 7th grades, and will add a grade each year until it is fully enrolled in 2020 with 450 girls in 6th through 12th grade.
