Inspired by the Holy Spirit, One Classroom was founded by parents of children with special needs with the goal of helping our St.

One Classroom accompanies families and schools by providing the financial support, training, and resources needed to ensure every learner — regardless of ability — has the opportunity to belong and thrive in Catholic education. Louis, MO archdiocese and parents make inclusive education possible in our parish schools! Meet our founders/directors: LeeAnn and Anthony Armitage:

LeeAnn and Anthony are parents of two children and are members of Mary Queen of Peace Parish in Webster Groves, MO. Their youngest child was born with Down syndrome. After extensive research to determine the optimal educational pathway for their son with Down syndrome LeeAnn and Anthony were inspired by inclusive education and the many Catholic schools around the country implementing inclusive programs. The opportunity of inclusive education, a strong belief in Catholic education, and the desire to educate their children together in one school created a passion to help all families of children with special needs and to serve Christ's church by helping our St. Louis archdiocese schools offer a new option for educating children with special needs.

This past summer, The Synapsory provided hands-on classroom tools that enhanced professional development training for over 100 educators from 26 Catholic schools.

The Synapsory is a St. Louis non-profit committed to providing calming spaces and sensory regulation tools that support children with sensory overload.

We are so grateful for our collaboration with Synapsory in providing training, resources, and calming kits to our educators!

Yesterday, we celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, and October is also the Month of the Rosary!

Through the simplicity and power of the Rosary, Our Lady invites all of her children into her Immaculate Heart. There, our own hearts expand in faith, hope, and love, and we come to see others as God sees and loves them.

Today, we ask for Our Lady's intercession so that students of all abilities will find a place of belonging and communion within Catholic schools.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves!

Earlier this year, we shared a survey with our community to learn more about the perception of the One Classroom brand.

Families, educators, donors, board members, and friends shared their perspectives, which have helped us enhance our marketing and communications efforts in 2026.

Then, using a tested and trusted method from our friends at KidGlov, we used that data to assess our current brand strategy, presence, and effectiveness so that One Classroom can be as competitive and effective as possible in our efforts to advance the mission of inclusive Catholic education in the Archdiocese of St. Louis.

From there, strategic decisions were made to refresh and renew the One Classroom Brand.

While our programs and core mission have not changed, this intentional process has allowed us to take the time to better clarify and unite how we articulate this mission, both internally and externally, to ensure maximum impact to local students with disabilities and learning differences.

And so, we are thrilled to share with you the final product of our efforts: a renewed One Classroom, ready to leverage our brand to better articulate who we are, bring increased support to our mission, and realize new levels of impact for local families and schools.

Thank you to all the survey respondents, our staff, board, the incredible team at KidGlov, our founders Tony and LeeAnn Armitage, and YOU for making this possible.

We are excited for you to join us as we continue to open doors to Catholic education for all learners!

As we celebrate 10 years of inclusive Catholic education in St. Louis, it’s a great time to reflect on One Classroom’s grass-roots heritage. One centered on prayer, community, and love for all of God’s children.

We asked co-founder LeeAnn Armitage to dig up some photos from “the vault” to remind us of our roots, and the joy of serving students with a range of learning differences.

Each month for the next 10 months, we’ll be sharing some of these gems with you. Enjoy a look into the early years that built the foundation for today.

---------------------------

Photo 1: There is no love quite as powerful as mother’s love for her child. LeeAnn’s rallying cry to make Catholic school a reality for her son Chris, and for so many other children defines the steady persistence that moves mountains. Each e-mail and each meeting paved the way.

Photo 2 & 3: These mothers answered the call in a big way. Brought together by LeeAnn, they planted the seeds for a movement within the Archdiocese of St. Louis. Their ideas, aspirations, and shared dreams for their children served as the springboard for One Classroom’s vision.
