Education
Superior opportunities for lifelong learning are offered through a wealth of excellent public and private schools in Richmond Heights. Residents are served by four public school districts — Brentwood, Clayton, Ladue and Maplewood-Richmond Heights (MRH). In 2004, MRH opened the MRH Elementary School on Princeton Place. It is a state-of-the-art facility with a “school as museum” theme, providing display areas for student exhibits.
For an alternative to the public school system, residents can access two parochial elementary schools located in Richmond Heights. The institutions are Immacolata Catholic School and Little Flower Catholic School.
