Mizzou K-12, the parent program of the University of Missouri High School, is part of the University of Missouri’s College of Education. As the precollegiate space within the University, we trace our roots back to 1857 as a lab school, evolving through Extension in 1913 to offer correspondence courses for high school credit to students without access to education. In 1999, we became an accredited private K-12 school to offer diplomas to graduating seniors. In 2011, we moved into the College of Education.
Mizzou K–12 / University of Missouri High School is distinctive, being the only program in the country supported by a consistently ranked College of Education at a research-intensive flagship university. Graduates of the University of Missouri High School have been accepted to colleges worldwide, outscored their peers on testing, and demonstrated success beyond.
AdvancED Mizzou K-12/MU High School is proud to be accredited by AdvancED.
