St. Paul's School

[EduCativ]

St. Paul's School, a co-educational, fully residential high school founded in 1856. We are an Episcopal school, welcoming of all faiths, made up of approximately 525 students from all over the world. We are a community of students and teachers, and families who live and learn together. We try to live by our School Prayer, which urges kindness and an eagerness to "bear the burdens of others." St. Paul's is academically rigorous but staffed with teachers who take the time to know the whole student, whether in the classroom, in the dormitory, on the athletic fields, or along with one of the many paths that wind through the grounds. Because high school is such a formative time, most alumni tell us that they made their most enduring friendships at St. Paul's. All students and all faculty live at the School, so there is never a shortage of peers to study with or hang around within the dorms or adults to provide guidance and support away from home.
St. Paul's School is a fully residential academic community that pursues the highest ideals of scholarship. We strive to challenge our students intellectually and morally – nurture a love for learning and a commitment to engage as servant leaders in a complex world. Founded in the Episcopal tradition, St. Paul's School models and teaches respect for self and others for one's spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being for the natural environment and service to a greater good.
The work of strengthening equity and inclusivity requires deep listening with open hearts and open minds. We honor and affirm our students, faculty, and staff's experiences as critical to building a more inclusive and beloved community. Finally, we take our moral responsibility seriously: to prepare our students to work together as global citizens committed to ongoing civil discourse and aspire to transform the world into service toward a greater good.
St. Paul's School admits qualified students of any race, color, disability, religious affiliation, national and ethnic origin, and sexual orientation to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at our School. We do not discriminate in violation of any law or statute in administering our educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and financial aid programs, and athletics or other school-administered programs.
Learning at St. Paul's is often a community enterprise, in which the shared rewards of a team's achievements are worth a project's hard work. Learning the give and take that leads to success, breaking through frustration, sometimes failing before accomplishing a goal together – collaboration is the way of the world. It is often the way this community works best.
Good teachers recognize that none of us learns in quite the same way. They understand that teaching, as with every other profession, evolves as better approaches, are developed. St. Paul's is committed to adopting and enhancing the most effective ways of helping young people learn – and enjoy their learning.
No matter the breadth of our offerings, the excellence of our faculty, or our students' abilities, the School cannot fulfill its mission without the commitment to our central values of social responsibility and leading young people toward lives of service toward a greater good.
