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.

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!
