Abandoned Paideia Academy – St. Louis, Missouri

Paideia Academy was a charter school in the College Hill neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. The state shut down Paideia Academy in 2011 and since then became abandoned. Nearly half a million in funds from federal and state money was reported missing after shutting down. Left behind are desks, computers, books, and even family pictures.

Lockers and cabinets are still filled with books and learning materials.
Computers are left behind, still plugged in, begin to be taken back by nature. I have selected this photo to be on my featured page. It also made it to the front page on Reddit.
