Fontbonne is located in Clayton, Missouri, a beautiful suburb just 10 minutes

from downtown St. Louis, a quick drive from Lambert International Airport

and a short jaunt to any one of the city’s unique neighborhoods. Five state

parks and hundreds of neighborhood parks make St. Louis one of the

greenest regions in the nation and a beautiful place to visit.

* Saint Louis Art Museum

* Saint Louis Zoo

* Saint Louis Science Center

* Missouri History Museum

* The Muny

Explore & ENJOY

Downtown, there’s the City Museum, which defies description, but

lets you explore, climb and shimmy through underground caves and

towering structures. And three professional sports teams — Cardinals

baseball, Rams football and Blues hockey — play in downtown St. Louis

venues. It gets pretty exciting ... St. Louis sports fans are some of the

most passionate in the nation.

Our campus is just minutes from Forest Park — larger than New York’s

Central Park — containing many of St. Louis’ nationally recognized

(and FREE!) museums. Explore the park’s running or biking trails, rent a

paddleboat to splash around in the Grand Basin or enjoy the summer

movie series on Art Hill.

St. Louis

Good to Know ...St. Louis was ranked in 2012 as the "happiest

city for job-seeking college graduates." The

list ranked cities based on career happiness,

average cost-of-living-adjusted salary,

relationships, environment, resources and

more. Good news for Fontbonne students!
