Our Mission >

Celebrating Our Differences

Wilson is fortunate to attract families from near and far. We encourage all students to value and appreciate both individual and cultural differences among themselves and within the larger community. 

Highlights include:
  • More than 20 percent of Wilson families are multilingual.
  • Wilson families come from 34 different zip codes, including Illinois and the western suburbs of St. Louis County.
  • Approximately 25% of our student body has at least one foreign-born parent.
  • Approximately 30% of Wilson families benefit from scholarship and tuition assistance.
  • In our Foreign Language (French and Latin) program, students garner an appreciation for tradition, history and cuisine. Students research a variety of French-speaking cultures, from Ste. Genevieve, Mo., to Paris, France. In Latin, students study ancient civilizations and their impact on modern society, including reenactments of historic events.
  • Wilson is a St. Louis Mosaic Project Ambassador school, welcoming students and their families from abroad.
  • Wilson participates in the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Student Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) to facilitate the process for families applying to the school from abroad.
